SANTA ANA—A U.S. marshal from Brea, Calif. faces federal cyberstalking charges for allegedly framing his ex-fiancee, causing her to be wrongly arrested by Anaheim police and charged with stalking and attempted rape, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced May 14.
An indictment returned May 12 in Santa Ana alleges that Ian R. Diaz and his former wife posed as the ex-fiancee and, in that guise, sent to themselves harassing and threatening email messages containing apparent threats to harm his then-wife.
