The former leader of a US neo-Nazi group was sentenced to 41 months in prison on Tuesday for waging a campaign to intimidate journalists and racial and religious minorities.
John Cameron Denton, 27, of Montgomery, Texas, was convicted of carrying out dozens of "swatting" attacks across the United States between October 2018 and February 2019.
"Swatting" involves calling emergency services to report bomb threats, hostage-takings or other violent activity, forcing police SWAT teams to respond.
"Denton's swatting activities were not harmless pranks; he carefully chose his targets to antagonize and harass religious and racial communities, journalists, and others against whom he held a bias or grievance," FBI special agent Timothy Thibault said in a statement.
