Woman gets revenge over the internet


A woman in Connecticut has been charged with harassment and breach of peace after attempting to take revenge on her ex-boyfriend through the internet.

Pilar Stofega, 34, made up profiles of her ex-boyfriend's wife on an adult website and supplied her phone number and address. She also posted an old high school picture of the wife. Her intention was to break up the marriage, police have alleged. When strange men started calling the house, the man who had dated Stofega eight years ago did some online research and realized who was behind the plot.

After he gave Stofega's name to the police, she was arrested and admitted to being behind the profiles. She has been released on a $2,500 bond. The Associated Press quotes court documents as saying that Stofega enacted the plot in order to "be vindictive, knowing that the profiles would create marital problems."
