Second Man Pleads Guilty in Scheme to Harass NH Public Radio Journalists

The guilty plea follows a series of attacks aimed at intimidating journalists over a report on sexual misconduct allegations.

Michael Waselchuck, 36, of Seabrook, NH, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit stalking through interstate travel and the use of a facility of interstate commerce.
Waselchuck's sentencing is scheduled for May 10, following his involvement in vandalizing homes of NH Public Radio journalists.
The harassment began after NHPR journalists published an investigation into sexual misconduct by a former New Hampshire businessman.
Four men, including Waselchuck, were indicted for their roles in the harassment, with one other defendant, Tucker Cockerline, pleading guilty in December.
The attacks included throwing bricks through windows and spray-painting derogatory words on journalists' homes.
