California Man Faces 20 Years for 14-Year Cyberstalking Campaign Posting Explicit Images of Oregon Ex-Girlfriend
A California man could spend 20 years in prison and be fined $250,000 for Cyberstalking his former girlfriend from Oregon by sharing sexually explicit photographs of her on social media platforms without her knowledge or permission.
Jason David Campos (42) of Granite Bay appeared in federal court on Tuesday charged with stalking, aggravated identity theft, and wire fraud.
Campos allegedly stalked and harassed the victim after the break-up of their relationship in 2008 by posting sexually explicit images and personal information on public forum websites and social media platforms between 2009 and 2023.
According to court documents, the victim discovered the disclosures after searching her name online and finding the images on a Swedish website, in sex ads, and on Craig List, Facebook, and Classmates.com.
He Posted the Intimate Images Online Over 14 Years
Over 14 years, Campos used the accounts to publish intimate images, disclosing the victim’s name and maiden name which he used to create the accounts. He asked viewers to contact the victim directly, using her personal information to cause further harassment.
It is also alleged that on 16 July 2021, Campos created an email account in the victim’s name and contacted her attorney in Oregon, requesting her client file that contained private information such as her residential address and information about a child.
Court records state that after receiving the file from the attorney, Campos contacted the victim directly.
Then, on 23 January 2022, Campos sent the victim an email referring to the child by name and asking if the victim was the mother of the child.
Campos also used the email account to post several sexually explicit images of the victim to an online message board, requesting viewers to share the post around an Oregon neighborhood in which the victim was living.
When Campos appeared in a Sacramento court on Tuesday he was arraigned and pleaded not guilty. He will be detained, pending further court proceedings.
Campos faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison, a fine of $250,000, and three years supervised release for wire fraud; a maximum sentence of five years in federal prison, a fine of $250,000, and three years supervised release for stalking; a mandatory minimum sentence of two years in federal prison, a fine of $250,000, and one year of supervised release for aggravated identity theft.
