美国司法部10月22日宣布，Salt Lake City的联邦大陪审团已起诉犹他州Ogden居民Skyler AJ Rose（22岁），指控他涉嫌多项联邦罪名，包括持有未注册的破坏性装置、以爆炸物威胁杀伤人员并摧毁建筑、图谋实施仇恨犯罪等。此案源于2025年12月网上一系列针对犹他州一座犹太会堂的威胁。（GSM据美国司法部新闻稿报道）
Rose于10月21日被联邦大陪审团起诉，首次出庭定于10月23日下午1:30在Salt Lake City的Orrin G. Hatch联邦法院8.4号法庭举行。
据法庭文件所载指控，2025年12月23日，一个社交媒体平台用户（后被确认是Rose）发布多条威胁帖文，其中一条写道：「我想炸掉一座犹太会堂。」调查显示帖文的IP地址可追溯到Rose居住的住所。联邦调查局FBI随后联系Ogden市警察局协助上门核查，确认该社交媒体账号属于Rose。执法人员执行搜查令时，在其住所查获六枚自制管状炸弹和一枚惰性装置、可用于再组装管状炸弹的爆炸物前体与部件、一部黑色三星手机，以及两支带弹匣和弹药的步枪。
法庭文件还称，对其手机的后续搜查显示，Rose曾在2025年11月上网搜索附近的犹太会堂；调查人员还在其手机中发现涉嫌儿童性虐待材料（CSAM）的证据，以及数百张缓存的相关图片与截图。
司法部民权司助理总检察长Harmeet K. Dhillon表示：「今天的起诉书将一起针对犹太会堂的涉嫌暴力袭击图谋扼止于萌芽。司法部将采取果断行动，保护美国的礼拜者免受暴力威胁，无论威胁发生在哪里。」犹他区联邦检察官Melissa Holyoak表示：「我们的社区里没有仇恨驱动暴力的容身之地——无论是图谋还是实施。礼拜场所应该是安全的庇护所，而不是恐惧之地。」FBI盐湖城外地办事处特别探员主管Robert Bohls与Ogden市警察局长Jake Sube也在发布中表态。
案件由FBI盐湖城外地办事处与Ogden市警察局联合调查，犹他州公共安全厅、Davis县警长办公室拆弹组、Weber县警长办公室拆弹组、烟酒火器与爆炸物管理局ATF及Weber县检察官办公室提供协助；案件由犹他区特别助理联邦检察官John Auchter主诉。司法部强调，起诉书仅为指控，被告在法庭证明有罪之前应被推定无罪。
Utah Man, 22, Federally Indicted: Charged With Attempted Hate Crime and Threatening to Blow Up a Synagogue; Six Pipe Bombs Found at His Home
A federal grand jury in Salt Lake City has indicted Skyler AJ Rose, 22, of Ogden, Utah, on multiple federal charges including possession of an unregistered destructive device, threatening to kill and injure persons and to destroy a building with an explosive, and attempting to commit a hate crime, the U.S. Department of Justice announced on October 22. The case stems from online threats made in December 2025 relating to a Utah synagogue. (GSM, via a U.S. Department of Justice release)
Rose was indicted on October 21. His initial appearance is scheduled for October 23 at 1:30 p.m. in courtroom 8.4 at the Orrin G. Hatch U.S. Courthouse in Salt Lake City.
According to allegations in court documents, on December 23, 2025, a user on a social media platform, later identified as Rose, made multiple threatening posts, one of which said, "I wanna blow up a synagogue." The investigation revealed the posts were made from an IP address tracing back to the home where Rose resided. The FBI contacted the Ogden City Police Department to assist with visiting the home and confirmed the social media handle belonged to Rose. During an executed search warrant, law enforcement recovered six improvised explosive pipe bombs and one inert device, explosive precursors and components that could be used to construct further pipe bombs, a black Samsung cellphone, and two rifles with accompanying magazines and ammunition.
As stated in court documents, a subsequent search of Rose's phone revealed that in November 2025 he had searched the internet for a synagogue near him. The investigation further revealed that the phone allegedly contained evidence of child sexual abuse material (CSAM), and hundreds of cached images and screenshots depicting CSAM.
"Today's indictment stops in its tracks an alleged plan to carry out a violent attack on a synagogue," said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division. "The Department of Justice will take decisive action to protect American worshippers from violent threats, no matter where they occur." U.S. Attorney Melissa Holyoak for the District of Utah said: "There is no place for hate-motivated violence - attempts or otherwise - in our communities. A place of worship should be a refuge of safety, not fear." FBI Salt Lake City Special Agent in Charge Robert Bohls and Ogden City Police Chief Jake Sube also issued statements in the release.
The case is being investigated jointly by the FBI Salt Lake City Field Office and the Ogden City Police Department, with assistance from the Utah Department of Public Safety, the Davis County Sheriff's Office Bomb Squad, the Weber County Sheriff's Office Bomb Squad, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the Weber County Attorney's Office. Special Assistant U.S. Attorney John Auchter for the District of Utah is prosecuting the case. An indictment is merely an allegation, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
