The hate crime charges have been substituted for Aggravated Kidnapping (Ransom) as of now and can be seen in the reports I've linked to bring information up to date.
As for hate crime, it is a Class 3 or 4 felony for the first offence and Class 2 for more than one offense.

In addition, any order of probation or conditional discharge entered following a conviction or an adjudication of delinquency shall include a condition that the offender perform public or community service of no less than 200 hours if that service is established in the county where the offender was convicted of hate crime. In addition, any order of probation or conditional discharge entered following a conviction or an adjudication of delinquency shall include a condition that the offender enroll in an educational program discouraging hate crimes if the offender caused criminal damage to property consisting of religious fixtures, objects, or decorations.

The parents or legal guardians, other than guardians appointed pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act or the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, of an unemancipated minor shall be liable for the amount of any judgment for actual damages rendered against such minor under this subsection ( c ) in any amount not exceeding the amount provided under Section 5 of the Parental Responsibility Law.
