(Learfield)- A man from northeastern Iowa is pleading guilty to cyberstalking a woman in Minnesota.
57-year-old Michael Shawn McGuire of Cresco admitted that he used Facebook and the mail to harass and intimidate a woman in Minnesota — and caused substantial emotional distress to her.
McGuire put up numerous yard signs where the victim lived that were sexually explicit and contained her name, telephone number, address, and email address.
During this same time period, various friends, family members, and associates of the victim received sexually explicit mailings with semi-nude photos of her — and those photos were sent to some of the victim’s contacts through Facebook and put on various fake dating profiles associated with her.
