HARRISONBURG — A Winchester woman is among nine people convicted of operating or participating in a widespread methamphetamine distribution ring based out of a Florida jail.
A Florida man was sentenced Monday to 12 months and one day of incarceration for cyberstalking and harassing a Charlottesville-area woman.
Agustin Alberto Lainez, 22, pleaded guilty in September in federal court in the city to one count of cyberstalking.
Per court documents, Lainez became online friends with the victim in September 2019 and later requested nude photographs of her. After initially declining, the victim later sent a nude photo of herself. After his further advances were rebuffed by the woman, Lainez demanded a nude video or said he would release her personal information.
Lainez then escalated to threatening physical harm, sending the victim a Twitter DM showing a screenshot in which Lainez is directing other Twitter users to âplease beat [her] ass â¦â In another Twitter DM, Lainez threatened to rape the victim.
