The assault, which occurred May 19th, included physical violence and a homophobic slur after she asked him to leave. The victim suffered cuts, a swollen cheek, and neck bruises. Lufkin fled on a bike. The court found his actions were fueled by prejudice against her gender identity. As punishment, he’s banned from contacting her or her family for three years, must stay 350 feet away from her home and workplace, and faces a $5,000 civil fine—with $4,000 suspended if he complies. He also pleaded guilty to two assault charges, receiving a 12-month sentence for each, both suspended for three years. This case underscores New Hampshire’s commitment to enforcing laws that protect all residents from hate-fueled violence.
