Businessman Accused of Orchestrating Attacks on Journalists
The journalists, who worked at New Hampshire Public Radio, had investigated claims of sexual misconduct against him.
A federal grand jury indicted a former New Hampshire businessman this week on charges that he orchestrated attacks on the homes of journalists who had investigated claims of sexual misconduct against him.
The grand jury in Boston indicted the businessman, Eric Spofford, on four stalking-related charges after prosecutors said he had paid an associate $10,000 to vandalize the homes of a reporter and an editor at New Hampshire Public Radio, as well as the home of the reporter’s parents.
A lawyer for Mr. Spofford declined to comment.
