A Washington man was sentenced to two years in prison followed by three years of supervised release in a cyber-stalking case.  Eric Scholl, 56, of Washington was sentenced on January 31, 2024, by United States District Judge Marilyn J. Horan.  He was also ordered to pay restitution to the victim, his ex-wife, whom he admitted cyber-stalking after she had obtained a Pennsylvania Protection from Abuse (PFA) order against him. Among other things, authorities say Scholl placed a GPS tracking device on the victim’s car to track her movements; directed harassing and intimidating emails, texts, and phone calls to her, including using a web-based service that allowed him to disguise his phone number; and posted lewd content about her on the internet.
