The elements of a Ralph Act claim are (a) defendant threatened or committed violent acts against plaintiff; (b) a motivating reason was defendant’s perception of plaintiff’s protected characteristic (e.g., age, disability, etc.); (c) plaintiff was harmed; and (d) defendant’s conduct was a substantial factor in causing that harm.”
