Alaska Man Charged with Threatening to Kill Six SCOTUS Justices

He allegedly sent more than 460 messages through SCOTUS' website

An Alaska man was arrested after allegedly threatening to torture and assassinate six Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) justices and their relatives, the Justice Department announced Thursday.

Panos Anastasiou, 76, is accused of sending more than 465 messages through the Supreme Court's public website — many of them violent, racist and homophobic, according to an indictment filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Alaska.

He pleaded not guilty to the 22 charges he faces: nine counts of making threats against a federal judge and 13 counts of making threats in interstate commerce.
