Bomb Hoaxer Gets 5 Years in Prison

Juan Thompson, the former journalist who admitted to terrorizing Jewish groups across America with bomb threats, has received a five-year prison sentence.

From Fox News:

Juan Thompson was sentenced Wednesday by Judge P. Kevin Castel in Manhattan federal court. He called Thompson’s crimes domestic terrorism.

The judge sentenced Thompson to a year longer than the federal sentencing guidelines recommended. The judge cited the eloquence of a victim statement delivered by Thompson’s ex-girlfriend, Francesca Rossi.

She said Thompson began abusing her during their relationship and intensified the terror delivered largely through social media and electronic communications after they broke up.
