A Texas man who authorities say threatened a Boston doctor providing care to transgender people was arrested Friday on federal charges.
by the U.S. Attorney's Office as 38-year-old Matthew Jordan Lindner of Humble, Texas, was charged with one count of transmitting interstate threats. He made his first appearance in a Texas courtroom Friday afternoon, and is expected to appear in federal court in Boston at a later date.
Lindner allegedly harassed and threatened to kill a female physician at the Boston-based National LGBTQIA+ Health Education Center, targeting her specifically of her work caring for gender non-conforming children, according to a statement from Joseph R. Bonavolonta, special agent in charge of the FBI Boston Division.
Charging documents allege that on Aug. 31, Lindner called the National LGBTQIA+ Health Education Center after at Boston Children's Hospital. Lindner left a violent message targeting one of the center's affiliated doctors, the Justice Department said. Lindner allegedly said"a group of people" were"on their way to handle" the unidentified victim, said the victim would"burn," and said that the victim and others in their field had"upset enough of us" and"signed own ticket," federal prosecutors said. The message also included a gender-based slur and accused the victim of"castrating" children.
