1999 Man Charged in California
Cyberstalking Case |
Only three weeks after
California brings in Cyberstalking laws, Gary Dellapenta is charged with soliciting
the rape of a woman who had rejected his advances. Dellapenta used the internet
to place ads requesting that men come round to the house of the victim to rape
her. The woman initially didn't understand why men were turning up at her house
in the middle of the night asking to rape her. Then she found out about the ads.
She put a sign up on the doors telling the men that the ads were a hoax. Dellapenta
then posted another ad saying that those notices were all part of the fantasy.
Dellapenta was finally caught when the victim's father pretended to reply to the
ads. He was sentenced to 6 years in prison. |
