A Pennsylvania judge sentenced a man to two years of probation in connection to a wide-ranging cadaver-stealing scandal that implicated the morgue manager for Harvard Medical School.

Jeremy Pauley did not speak in a Cumberland County court on Tuesday — he still faces a related case in federal court, to which he has pleaded guilty. Authorities have yet to schedule the sentencing hearing in that matter.

Pauley did not speak on his behalf, according to Tyler Jeski, an executive producer for Harrisburg CBS affiliate WHP. His defense lawyer reportedly described him in court as an “expert” in skeletons.

State authorities charged Pauley in 2022, saying that he purchased stolen body parts. The seller was Candace Chapman Scott, who stole the remains from a mortuary in Little Rock, Arkansas, they said.
