NEW JERSEY — A 39-year-old New Jersey man is accused of stalking his victims by creating social media accounts in their image, among other alleged conduct, the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office said.
Sarju Patel, of North Bergen, was arrested Monday on charges of stalking, cyberstalking and harassment, Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella said.
Members of the prosecutor’s office’s Cyber Crimes Unit executed a search warrant earlier this week at Patel’s residence in connection with a harassment investigation. The investigation allegedly revealed that Patel created social media accounts under numerous vanity names in the likeness of his victims. He also allegedly posted photographs of the victims, checked in online at various locations associated with the victims and their families and even sent physical letters to one of the victims’ workplace, prosecutors said.
Attorney information was not immediately available.
