Court records show that he had his first appearance Wednesday, where he pleaded not guilty and was remanded without bail. A temporary order of protection for the victim was also levied.

They also reportedly searched his room and found a box matching the crossbow, a Katana samurai sword and a computer, which were all seized.
As of Wednesday, Sedhom’s name did not appear on the Nassau County jail roster.
