California Man Pleads Guilty to Cyberstalking Ex-Girlfriend and Posting Intimate Images Online

PORTLAND, Ore. — A 44-year-old California man pleaded guilty in federal court Tuesday to stalking his former girlfriend and aggravated identity theft after years of online harassment that included posting sexually explicit images of the victim without her consent.

Jason David Campos, of Granite Bay, California, pleaded guilty to the charges in a case involving harassment that spanned from 2009 to 2023, according to federal prosecutors.

Court documents state that Campos repeatedly posted intimate images and personal information about his former girlfriend online without her permission. He also created social media and forum accounts using her name and, in some instances, encouraged others to contact or harass her.

In 2021, Campos allegedly created an email account using the victim’s maiden name and impersonated her to obtain her confidential legal file. Later that year, he used the same account to send intimate images of the victim to her attorney.

In 2022, Campos sent emails to an account belonging to the victim in an apparent attempt to confirm her identity. The messages referenced a minor family member whose name Campos had obtained from the victim’s legal file, according to court documents.

The harassment continued into 2023, when Campos used an instant messaging application to distribute intimate images of the victim to strangers. He also directed the recipients to contact an email account he controlled that had previously belonged to the victim.

A federal grand jury in Portland indicted Campos on April 9, 2025, on charges of stalking, wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. Under a plea agreement, he pleaded guilty to stalking and aggravated identity theft.

Campos has agreed to pay full restitution to the victim and her attorney for services provided in response to the fraudulent request for legal records.

He faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison for stalking and a mandatory consecutive two-year prison sentence for aggravated identity theft. He also faces potential fines and supervised release following imprisonment.

Sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 1, 2027, before a U.S. District Court judge.

“Today’s plea sends a clear message that those who use the internet to harass, intimidate and exploit others will be held accountable,” U.S. Attorney Scott E. Bradford said. “We remain committed to protecting victims of online abuse and ensuring offenders face the full consequences of their actions.”

The FBI investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Gregory R. Nyhus is prosecuting the case, with assistance from Assistant U.S. Attorney Mira Chernick.
