A former Northeastern University employee has been sentenced to just over a year in prison for staging a bomb hoax on the Boston campus. 47-year-old Jason Duhame from San Antonio, Texas, was convicted in June of providing false information about an explosive device and lying to federal agents. In September 2022, Duhame, then the director of Northeastern's Immersive Media Lab,

called 911, claiming a package had exploded, injuring his arms. His report triggered a large-scale police response, including evacuations and the deployment of the bomb squad. Authorities say Duhaime fabricated the story, even presenting a letter allegedly found in the package that threatened the lab's virtual reality work and claimed ties to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and the U.S. government.

Duhame's defense cited a lack of prior criminal history and personal struggles, but the court imposed a sentence of one year and one day.
