Hamilton College student admits to posting 'antisemitic remarks' on campus, New York State Police say

A Hamilton College student has been charged for allegedly writing anti-Semitic remarks on campus, New York State Police say.

A 19-year-old student from South Dakota has been charged after police say he admitted to posting antisemitic remarks on the campus of Hamilton College in upstate New York. 

New York State Police say they began investigating on Friday "after receiving a report of anti-Semitic remarks being posted on art canvasses" across the school’s campus in the village of Clinton.  

"Several interviews were conducted, video surveillance was reviewed, and a suspect was developed," state police said. "On October 12, 2024, the suspect, Adyn Brenden, age 19, from South Dakota, a student at the college, was located in his dorm room. 

"Brenden agreed to speak with State Police and ultimately admitted to posting the remarks and was taken into custody," investigators added.

Brenden is now facing a felony charge of aggravated harassment first degree and is set to make his first court appearance later today.
