Jeremy Pauley, a key figure in a nationwide illegal human remains trade connected to Harvard Medical School, was sentenced to six years in prison for buying and selling stolen human body parts, including fetal remains, from various sources. Despite admitting guilt and claiming legality, prosecutors highlighted his continued involvement in the trade, which involved stolen remains from multiple institutions. The case exposed a dark online market for human body parts, with Pauley's associates also facing charges.
