Harvard's News Cycle Just Got Worse As Medical School Morgue Director Pleads Guilty to Disgusting Crime

But it just got worse:

A former Harvard Medical School morgue manager recently entered a plea in relation to an alleged scheme to steal and sell donated body parts.

Cedric Lodge, a 57-year-old resident of Goffstown, New Hampshire, confessed to the crime of transporting stolen human remains across state lines on Wednesday. Chief U.S. District Judge Matthew W. Brann accepted his guilty plea, as stated in a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Middle District of Pennsylvania.

The maximum penalty under federal law is 10 years in prison, a term of supervised release following imprisonment and a fine.
