Hate Crime Draws Prison
(AP)— The ringleader of agang
of teenage skinheads in Portland
was sentenced Monday to nearly
three years in prison for burning
crosses at a Jewish cemetery and
spray-painting racist graffiti on a
Korean church three years ago.
Brian Raymond Hauth, 26, who
lives in Montana, was convicted of
civil rights and conspiracy charges
as part of a plea bargain reached
late last summer, said Assistant
U.S. Attorney Stephen F. Peifer.
According to an FBI affidavit
filed in Portland, Hauth was as the
"commander” of a teen hate group,
which called itself the "Oregon
State Boot Boys."
Hauth admitted to having re­
cruited five boys three years ago
— all minors ranging in age from
14 to 17. He masterminded each act,
the affidavit said, dri ving one o f the
boys to the Agape Wide World
Mission Center on Dec. 8, 2000,
where he encouraged the boy to
paint a swastika on the wall of the
Korean sanctuary.
One month later, he returned
with several other boys, vandaliz­
ing the church a second time. They
also spray-painted swastikas on
the entrance pillars of Portland’s
Congregation Shaarie Torah Cem ­
etery. On March 12, 2001, Hauth
returned again, this time to bum
crosses in the cemetery.
White supremacists have a long
history in Portland. In 1988, m em ­
bers of a neo-Nazi movement beat
an Ethiopian man to death with a
baseball bat.
