Jean-Claude Bridges, who is now 18-years-old, pleaded guilty to starting the blaze at the Virginia church on May 20. Bridges, who was 17 at the time, acted with another juvenile, according to Fox News.
Attorney Timothy J. Heaphy said in a recent press release that Bridge’s racial bias led him to set the fire:
“Mr. Bridges’ racial bias led him to commit the dangerous crime of arson,” Heaphy said, according to the release.
“When he set fire to the New Holy Deliverance Outreach Ministry, he endangered neighbors and first responders. This act of prejudice offended the entire community. This office will protect the civil rights of everyone and vigorously prosecute crimes like that committed by Mr. Bridges. Racism has no place in Axton or anywhere else in the Western District of Virginia,” Heaphy continued.
