A federal judge sentenced a man to 18 years in prison after he admitted to throwing Molotov cocktails at an Ohio church that was set to host a drag show, prosecutors say.

Aimenn D. Penny, 20, of Alliance, Ohio, pleaded guilty in October to violating the Church Arson Prevention Act and to using fire and explosives to commit a felony. At Monday’s sentencing hearing, Penny did not apologize and maintained that he committed the act in an effort to “protect the children,” the Columbus Dispatch reported. He reportedly said he’s against men dressing as women and vice versa.

“Especially in a place of worship,” Penny said. “I didn’t hurt anyone.”

The Community Church of Chesterland reported to police that someone tried to firebomb the church in the early morning hours of March 25, 2023. There were burn marks on the front door of the church and a sign on the exterior of the building. Church leaders suspected the act was tied to their upcoming drag queen events on April 1, 2023. They received threats about hosting the event.
