A San Jose woman accused of harassing a father and his daughter in a viral video appeared in court Tuesday on stalking and hate crime charges, with prosecutors also alleging she was out on bail in an unrelated case involving a death threat.<\/p>\n
Lindsay Hansen appeared at the Hall of Justice in San Jose Tuesday, flashing a toothy grin as she was photographed during the court appearance, as NBC Bay Area reports<\/a>. She faces felony stalking charges and hate crime allegations stemming from an encounter earlier this month involving a father and his daughter<\/a>. <\/p>\n The incident went viral after video showed Hansen recording the pair<\/a> from the passenger-side window of her vehicle while accusing the father of sex trafficking the girl because they have different skin colors. Hansen reportedly approached the father and daughter three separate times. <\/p>\n Bay Area News Group reports<\/a> that authorities arrested Hansen about a week after the video went viral. She was charged with one count of felony stalking by repeated following or malicious harassing, with additional allegations that she committed a hate crime while out on bail at the time.<\/p>\n That bail allegation stems from an unrelated March case in which Hansen allegedly made a social media post threatening to kill a former employer and the employer\u2019s children.<\/p>\n Britlyn McCormick, a deputy district attorney with the Santa Clara County District Attorney\u2019s Office who is prosecuting the March case, told the News Group that Hansen faces a felony charge of threatening a crime resulting in death or great bodily injury, along with misdemeanor charges of threatening to injure by telephone and using an electronic communication device with the intent to annoy.<\/p>\n Hansen was reportedly arraigned on both cases at the same hearing earlier this month.<\/p>\n Hansen has also been accused of entering a high school locker room and recording students, then posting the footage online. A community member said in a social media video<\/a> that Hansen had allegedly entered at least one other school and a library, where she harassed children and adults.<\/p>\n Per NBC Bay Area, Hansen is due back in court Thursday morning.<\/p>\n Previously: San Jose Woman Accused of Harassing Families, Filming Inside School Locker Room<\/a><\/p>\n
