NAPA, Calif. (AP) — A Napa man faces up to five years and eight months in state prison after being convicted of stalking a woman he briefly dated and posting an intimate photograph online without her consent as revenge.
Napa County District Attorney Allison Haley said Tuesday that a jury found 38-year-old Jose Gonzalez guilty of stalking, making criminal threats, dissuading a witness, and distributing on social media an intimate image of his ex-girlfriend as revenge for the breakup, commonly referred to as "revenge porn".
Haley says Gonzalez stalked and threatened the woman by text messages and phone calls and by showing up unannounced at her work and home after their short-term relationship ended. He also tried dissuading her from reporting him to authorities.
Gonzalez is currently being held without bail and is scheduled to be sentenced on March 24.
