The second of four men charged with a conspiracy to harass and intimidate a New Hampshire journalist and her parents has pleaded guilty.

Michael Waselchuck, 36, of Seabrook, N.H., pleaded guilty Thursday in federal court in Boston to conspiracy to commit stalking through interstate travel and the use of a facility of interstate commerce. Waselchuck’s change of plea was preceded by co-conspirator Tucker Cockerline’s in December. Cases against the remaining conspirators, Keenan Saniatan and Eric Labarage, remain pending.

The men were arrested on a criminal complaint in June 2023 and were subsequently indicted by a federal grand jury on conspiracy charges that September.

Prosecutors accused Cockerline, Waselchuck, and Sanitan of vandalizing homes associated with a New Hampshire Public Radio reporter and the reporter’s editor on five occasions in April and May 2022. The feds say that the intimidation campaign began in retaliation for the publication of an article on Eric Spofford, founder of the Granite Recovery Centers, in March 2022.

It started when the feds say Labarge hired Cockerline to throw a brick through the window of the reporter’s former house in Hanover, N.H., on April 24, 2022. He also spraypainted a four-letter derogatory word beginning with “C” in large, red letters on the front door of the home.

That same day, the feds allege, Saniatan, allegedly did pretty much exactly the same ruse at the editor’s home in Concord, N.H., the reporter’s parent’s home in Hampstead, N.H.

Then the same thing went down in May 20, 2022, when Cockerline spraypainted that same C-word in large red letters on one of the garage doors of the reporter’s parent’s home and then, hours later, Waselchuck threw a brick through a window of the reporter’s home and painted the phrase “JUST THE BEGINNING” on the front of the house.

It was after this last one that Marian Ryan, the Middlesex District Attorney, hosted a press conference and shared a SimpliSafe doorbell camera showing the Melrose incident in an attempt for the community to help identify the suspect.

But the next month, with the filing of that criminal complaint, the matter became a federal one.

Each charge carries a maximum sentence of up to five years in prison, three years of supervised release, a $250,000 fine and restitution. U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani scheduled sentencing for May 10, 2024.
