A former partner of an American multinational law firm, K&L Gates, has been sentenced by a New York court for cyberstalking three former colleagues.
According to a US Attorney's Office statement, 60-year-old Willie Dennis waged a year-long campaign of harassment, intimidation, and threats against his victims, who were partners at the law firm.
“As part of that campaign, DENNIS sent the victims thousands of harassing, threatening, and intimidating emails and text messages. Despite having been warned by the Law Firm over and over again that his communications were unwanted, abusive, and harassing, DENNIS continued to send nonstop messages to his former partners. He sent the messages at all hours of the day and night."
In one of his threats, he is said to have told one victim to “sleep with one eye open.”
In addition to his prison term, he was sentenced to three years of supervised release.
