Suspect in viral monk seal harassment video says he was doxxed as federal court fight begins

Igor Mykhaylovych Lytvynchuk, a 38-year-old from Washington, faces federal charges for allegedly hurling a rock at an endangered Hawaiian monk seal in Maui, as his lawyer claims he was doxxed and threatened following the viral video. Lytvynchuk's defense asserts he never intended to injure the seal, arguing he was trying to protect the species, though he could face up to a year in prison and $50,000 in fines if convicted.
