A woman is avoiding prison in her sentence for calling in a hoax bomb threat against Boston Children's Hospital. 

Prosecutors say Catherine Leavy made the threat in August of 2022, which is when law enforcement began monitoring numerous threats received by the hospital. 

It was believed the threats were related to a program at the hospital for gender diverse and transgender adolescents. 

Leavy previously pleaded guilty to making a false bomb threat and conveying false information, and was sentenced to three years of probation yesterday.
