Terrence Joseph McNeil was arrested for posting personally identifying information of soldiers and their Dependents for the purpose of targeting them for violence on November 12, 2015, after [Section 4712](https://gijustice.com/soldiers-amendment/) of the [Hate Crimes Prevention Act](https://gijustice.com/content/files/2026/05/hcpa-10.html) made it a hate crime to target victims “on account of their military service.” McNeil was never charged with a hate crime under [18 U.S.C. § 1389](https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1389?ref=gijustice.com).

The initial complaint (see below) is unique in that it cites sections 18 U.S.C. §§ 1389 and 1114 under “Background and Probable Cause,” but not as a formal charges. In the later indictment, law enforcement only applied 18 U.S.C. § 119, on the basis of six unnamed G.I. Does;

- “two United States military personnel, **A.B.** and **W.T.**” (page 4)
- “US Navy SEAL \[**R.O.**\]” (page 5)
- “United States military service member, **N.S.**, alongside **two** young children” (page 5)
