Businessman's Associates Charged With Vandalizing Homes of Investigative Journalists

Three men face federal charges for vandalizing homes of New Hampshire journalists who reported on sexual misconduct allegations against a New Hampshire businessman.
The vandalism, which included bricks, rocks, and red spray paint, targeted the homes of the journalists and their families in retaliation for their investigative report.
Investigators say a close associate of the businessman solicited two of the men to commit the vandalism.
The journalists worked for New Hampshire Public Radio and had reported on sexual misconduct allegations against Eric Spofford, the founder of several addiction rehabilitation centers.
Spofford is suing the radio station but denies any involvement in the vandalism against the journalists.
