A teenage boy on the Central Coast is facing hate crime and other charges after detectives say for months he bullied, and threatened a teen with autism.
San Luis Obispo Police say the teen sent threatening and derogatory text messages to the victim, and also physically threatened the 15 year old victim.
They say it had been going on since the start of the school year. Detectives say after the victim went to police, the teen threatened him again if he pursued the matter.
The San Luis Obispo High School student was booked on hate crime, witness intimidation, and criminal threat charges.
