CNN —Three men face federal charges for allegedly vandalizing homes associated with two New Hampshire journalists, authorities said, in suspected acts of retaliation for a published article. The alleged vandalism came after a New Hampshire Public Radio journalist published an article in March 2022 detailing allegations of sexual and other misconduct by a former New Hampshire businessperson, officials said. WBUR public radio in Boston reported the vandalism attacks targeted the homes of New Hampshire Public Radio journalist Lauren Chooljian, her parents and her editor, Dan Barrick. CNN has reached out to Chooljian, Barrick and New Hampshire Public Radio for further comment. Cockerline and Waselchuck were arrested Friday, while Saniatan remains at large, the US Attorney’s Office said Friday.

Federal prosecutors in Boston unveiled criminal charges on Friday against three men accused of vandalizing the homes of journalists in New Hampshire and Massachusetts in retaliation for an investigation into a local businessman. Mr. Spofford later sued the news organization for libel. Mr. Spofford was not named in the criminal complaint. But a person repeatedly named by prosecutors as “Subject 1” is Mr. Spofford, according to a person familiar with the investigation. The complaint said that a “close personal associate” of Subject 1 “solicited” the three men to attack the homes.

Mr. Spofford has denied the allegations of sexual misconduct and has said he had nothing to do with the vandalism. Ms. Chooljian and her colleagues do not know who was behind the vandalism, but they are convinced that it was connected to their investigation into Mr. Spofford. “That’s being a journalist in America today,” Ms. Chooljian said in an interview. Mr. Spofford said in a statement that The New York Times was spreading the same “false accusations” that NHPR had aired. On the advice of NHPR’s security consultants, Ms. Chooljian and her family will be hunkering down out of state.
