IRS Employee Pled Guilty to Cyberstalking Colleague
On May 25, 2023, in the District of Utah, Daimion Brown pled guilty to one count of cyberstalking. Brown, who worked at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) office in Utah, used a digital communication service to send a colleague several threatening and intimidating text messages.
According to court documents, beginning around March 31, 2022, and continuing until June 10, 2022, Brown sent a colleague harassing text messages describing how he watched this colleague all day and night. Brown also sent a text message that discussed the method in which he would torture a friend of this colleague, followed by an image of a name and phone number of an acquaintance of this colleague.
At sentencing, the maximum penalties Brown could receive are: five years’ imprisonment; a $250,000 fine; and three years’ supervised release.
