Imagine a crime where the culprit leaves someone else’s fingerprints behind.
That’s cyberstalking, with a twist.
A hearing in a Guilford County courtroom last week focused on computer forensics and a Czech website that provides fake email addresses. If the case goes to trial, it might take a jury of Internet geeks to sort it out. The only issue before Judge Susan Bray was whether defendant Meghan Marie McCarthy violated the terms of release set when she was arrested in June and charged with making harassing phone calls, cyberstalking and computer trespass. McCarthy, 24, and Jason Pfister, 25, ended a relationship last December. Pfister, then a student at UNCG, began receiving annoying emails and phone calls — lots of them. Then his parents, Al and Tina Pfister, started getting them. Then they started going to the family’s construction business.
