Sounds like a bad plot for a t.v. series.
SCOTT SENTENCED - August 6, 2007 - First there was -
F. Devin Scott, 34, who was sentenced to seven years in prison for his part in a murder-for-hire plot.
Allegedly, Jay Glosser, 53, (right) a Tidewater Community College professor, asked Raymond Groves, 38, a friend and neighbor, to kill Kimberly Perez, an associate professor at Tidewater. Perez had accused Glosser of sexual harassment. Glosser is alleged to have offered Groves $10,000 to kill the woman. Groves then went to Scott and offered him the money to kill Perez.

Glosser was worried that the complaint might cost him his job. “Because he was concerned for his job,” [prosecutor David] Laird said in court, “he was going to have her killed.”Police have a recording where Grove and Glosser talked about "Taking her out."
Perez hired a private detective to find out who was sending her death threats and she and the detective later contacted police. Glosser has an 11-year-old son and a 15-year-old daughter.
