Prosecutors say LaRose’s sentencing should serve as a deterrent to “other lonely, vulnerable people who might be enticed by online extremists promising fame and honour.”
LaRose and two others convicted in the plot, Jamie Paulin-Ramirez and teenager Mohammad Hassan Khalid, face sentencing next week.
LaRose faces a maximum of life in prison. The others could get up to 15 years in prison for conspiring to provide material aid to terrorists.
