Man Admits Online Abortion Threat

A man pleaded guilty to offering a $1.5-million bounty over the Internet to anyone who killed an abortion provider. Nicholas Morency, 30, also pleaded guilty in a Camden courtroom to possessing child pornography. He faces up to six years in prison and $350,00 in fines.

“There was no evidence he had the financial wherewithal to pay the bounty,” U.S. Atty. Robert J. Cleary said. “But the crime is a serious one.”
