Federal Charges Brought In Tallahassee Cyberstalking Case

Posted on September 18, 2015 by Dissent

A federal grand jury returned an indictment charging Michael Daniel Rubens, 30, formerly of Tallahassee, with seven counts of cyberstalking, five counts of unauthorized access to a protected computer, and one count of aggravated identity theft. Rubens was arraigned this week in the U.S. District Court in Tallahassee. The indictment was announced by Christopher P. Canova, Acting United States Attorney for the Northern District of Florida.

The 13-count indictment alleges that, between January 2012 and January 2015, in the Northern District of Florida, Rubens used interactive computer services, such as social media accounts, to engage in conduct causing emotional distress to multiple women. Rubens is also charged with hacking into various online accounts of multiple women to obtain information about them. The trial is scheduled for November 16, 2015.

      To report an abusive Page on Facebook:

      Go to the Page you want to report
      Click on the Page’s cover photo
      Select Report Page and follow the on-screen instructions
      We’ll review the Page and remove anything that doesn’t follow the Facebook Community Standards. We may also warn or disable the person responsible.

      If that’s not the sole source of cyberstalking, you can also contact your local police, but note that cyberstalking and online harassment are not necessarily the same under some states’ laws.
