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.
