Statesville Man Sentenced for Cyberstalking
A Statesville man is sentenced in federal court for cyberstalking.
Last
week, a U.S.District Court Judge sentenced 57-year-old Charles
Timothy
Browne to 43 months in prison and three years of supervised
release,
for cyberstalking a woman residing in Maryland. On February 3rd,
Browne
pleaded pleaded guilty to cyberstalking. At last week’s sentencing
hearing, the judge enhanced the sentence of Browne, because, at
the
time he sent the harassing and intimidating texts to the Maryland woman,
a judge-issued protective order was in effect that prohibited him
from
abusing, threatening to abuse, harassing and or/contacting her.
Between 2004 and 2017 Browne had been subject to six protective
orders.
