White Woman Pleads Guilty in Alleged Racist NYC Hotel Confrontation With Black Teen
Ponsetto pleaded guilty to that felony hate crime charge, the top count against her, District Attorney Alvin Bragg announced Monday.
"This plea ensures appropriate accountability for Ms. Ponsetto by addressing underlying causes for her behavior and ensuring this conduct does not reoccur,” said Bragg, adding that"as a Black man, I have personally experienced racial profiling countless times in my life and I sympathize with the young man victimized in this incident."
Bragg's office said it would agree to her withdrawing the plea to the felony charge in exchange for a second-degree aggravated harassment guilty plea, which is a misdemeanor. She also wouldn't be subject to any additional jail time, according to the deal. Ponsetto did not answer questions as she left court Monday with her attorney. There was no immediate response from the Harrold family after the plea deal was announced.
