A man who prosecutors said was part of a wild mob that attacked a pro-Palestinian encampment on UCLA’s campus last year was granted diversion Monday, meaning he will avoid jail time.
WALLY SKALIJ Los Angeles Times PRO-PALESTINIAN protesters defend against a supporter of Israel at UCLA.
Edan On, 19, was charged with misdemeanor assault this year for swinging a pipe at members of the encampment in May 2024.
L.A. County Superior Court Judge Liliana Gonzalez cited his age, lack of criminal history and the fact that On is working full time as factors to grant him diversion over the objection of prosecutors from the city attorney’s office during a brief hearing in the Airport Courthouse on Monday morning.
On did not appear at the hearing and has not shown up in court since he was charged in April.
