PORTLAND (AP) — A 43- year-old Maine man convicted of using the Internet to stalk his ex-fiancee and steal her identity is going to prison for five years.
Shawn Sayer of Biddeford was sentenced Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Portland. He pleaded guilty in August to cyberstalking.
Prosecutors say Sayer used the Internet to terrorize his ex-fiancee for four years after they broke up in 2006, even after she changed her name and moved from Maine to Louisiana.
