property of a member of such judge's immediate family; or
(b) causes a communication to be initiated anonymously  or  otherwise,

the  actor  knows  or  reasonably should know is a judge, or a member of
such judge's immediate family, and the actor knows or reasonably  should

actor  knows  or  reasonably  should know is a judge or a member of such
judge's immediate family, the actor strikes, shoves, kicks, or otherwise
subjects another person to physical contact, or attempts or threatens to
do the same because of a belief or perception  regarding  such  person's
race,  color,  national  origin,  ancestry,  gender,  gender identity or
expression, religion, religious  practice,  age,  disability  or  sexual
orientation,  regardless of whether the belief or perception is correct;

subjects  another  person  to  physical contact thereby causing physical
injury to such person or to an immediate family member of  such  person;

against a person the actor knows or reasonably should know is a judge or
a member of such  judge's  immediate  family  and  has  previously  been
convicted  of  the crime of harassment in the first degree as defined by
section 240.25 of this article within the preceding ten years.
For purposes of this section: "judge" shall mean a judge of a court of
record or a justice court; and "immediate family" shall  have  the  same
meaning as defined in section 120.40 of this chapter.
