Woburn, Mass. Man Given One Year Probation For Attacking The Church Of Scientology In The Name Of ‘Anonymous’

A Woburn, Massachusetts man was put on probation for one year for disrupting a religious service at the Church of Scientology of Boston.

In the Boston Municipal Court, Gregg Housh, 32, admitted to sufficient facts to warrant a finding of guilt on charges of disturbing the peace and disturbing religious services for leading a February 10, 2008 disturbance at the Boston Church of Scientology. Housh was given one year of probation, the terms of which include a court order to stay away from the Church of Scientology of Boston’s locations in the Back Bay and the South End.

Housh is the self-proclaimed leader of the Boston cell of an underground cyber-terrorist group called “Anonymous.” He is the second member of Anonymous to face criminal charges in the past week for harassment against a Scientology Church. On Friday October 17th, The U.S. Department of Justice announced the filing of federal criminal charges against New Jersey Anonymous member Dmitriy Guzner related to the January, 2008 attempted destruction of websites owned by the Church of Scientology. Guzner has agreed to plead guilty to felony charges that could send him to prison for ten years.

At today’s hearing, Boston Municipal Court Judge Thomas C. Horgan warned Housh that if he violates any of the terms of his probation he could face one year in the House of Correction.
