A second man who was involved in the call to harm South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker pleaded guilty to several charges stemming from the events. Jesse Curtis Morton fled to Morocco four days after his cohort, Zachary Chesser, was arrested. He was picked up there and brought back to the United States.
Chesser and Morton threatened others, and used the Web to spread their word wide -- in forums, on their website, and elsewhere. They both used the Internet to encourage others to commit crimes -- specifically violent crimes against those Chesser and Morton deemed to enemies of the Muslim faith.
Chesser and Morton claimed to have been offended by a South Park cartoon depicting the Prophet Mohammad in a bear suit.
