Benjamin Knight, 24, Lauren Pajerski, 22, Max Cickovskis, 22, and Jonathan Beckwith, 23, have been indicted on numerous charges after their clandestine operation was uncovered at Baldwin Wallace University Conservatory of Music in Berea, Ohio. The arrests came after a six-month investigation by police officers during which they discovered reams of text messages between the classmates as they planned their operation.
