Prof Pleads Guilty to Hiring Hit Man to “Take Out” Prof Who Filed Sexual Harassment Claim Against Him

From the Virginian-Pilot:  Last Defendant in Murder-for-Hire Case Sentenced, by Duane Bourne:

The last of the three men charged in a murder-for-hire plot against a Tidewater Community College professor last year admitted his role and was ordered to serve eight and a half years in prison on Wednesday. The defendant, Jay Glosser, 54, a former associate professor of information systems technology, … reached a plea agreement with prosecutors, in which he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire, solicitation and conspiracy to commit extortion. …

[Glosser] was accused of conspiring to kill another TCC professor, Kimberly Perez, who had filed a sexual harassment complaint against him. Worried that the complaint could cost him his job, Glosser turned to his neighbor, Chesapeake trucking company owner Raymond Groves Sr., prosecutors said. Glosser told Groves he was willing to pay $3,000 to $4,000 to get Perez to withdraw the complaint or $10,000 to "take her out," according to trial testimony.
