King County prosecutors have filed charges against an assistant attorney general for allegedly setting up accounts on several adult hookup websites using the identity of a former neighbor, who received dozens of phone calls from people seeking sex.
From my September 2008 story on the investigation:
A woman told police that someone had been impersonating her online, giving out her phone number and arranging sexual encounters under her name.
According to court documents, the first incident occurred on Christmas Day 2006, when the victim received a telephone call from a Tacoma couple who claimed they had arranged a meeting on Adult FriendFinder to have sex with her. The couple told the woman that a person claiming to be her had given out her name and phone number to arrange a tryst.
Records say that between 2006 and mid-2008, the woman received between 25 and 30 phone calls from people looking for sex. The calls came from as far away as California, New York, and Florida.
In July 2008, police served a search warrant at the home of assistant attorney general Jonathan Milstein—who worked in the AG’s Social and Health Services division and is married to King 5 reporter Deborah Feldman—and seized a laptop.
Court records say police found “remnants” of files indicating that Milstein had used Adult Friend Finder as well as “indications of conscious efforts to eliminate records…on the laptop.”
Milstein has been charged with telephone harassment.
According to Attorney General’s office spokesman Dan Sytman, Milstein has notified the office that he will be resigning effective August 5th, after he uses up his accrued personal leave time.
If that were happening to me I’d Get Jesse.
