An unhinged anti-white and anti-Jewish bigot who slugged a TikTok influencer in an infamous caught-on-video Manhattan attack was convicted on hate-crimes charges Wednesday and now faces up to 12 years in prison.
Skiboky Stora, who has run long-shot races for NYC mayor and claimed to be the “great great grandson of Marcus Garvey,” was found guilty of assault in the third degree as a hate crime following a bench trial in front of Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Josh Hanshaft.
The judge needed just 30 minutes to deliver the guilty verdict after the four-week trial, at which Stora acted as his own lawyer and put up a rambling, nonsensical defense.
He was also convicted of stalking in the third degree as a hate crime and aggravated harassment in the second degree. The judge will decide whether Stora’s multiple felony convictions will run consecutively to each other. If sentenced concurrently, he faces up to four years in prison.
Stora, who wore a tie with his own name on it in court, was immediately remanded by the judge — and will be sentenced on April 14.

Prosecutors have said that Stora assaulted, stalked and harassed strangers on the streets of the Big Apple in a series of hate crimes targeting white people, Jewish people and women.
Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Edward Smith argued that Stora — who he said hates white people — shouldn’t be “credited by the court” because he continuously lied throughout the trial and denied any involvement in the hate crimes.

At trial, witnesses testified about their random run-ins with Stora — including TikTok influencer Halley McGookin, who testified about being punched in the face by the goon on March 25, 2024
McGookin, also known as Halley Kate with more than 1.6 million followers, said that she was so rattled after being slugged that she immediately apologized to her attacker.
The TikTok influencer told her attacker she was sorry “because he was screaming at me, using a lot of profanity, saying it was my fault,” she said.
