Man Arrested After Faking Email Message to Disrupt Child Custody Case

When parents of a child separate from each other and each of them wants primary custody of that child, the resulting battle can be extremely nasty and antagonistic.  During a time like this, people tend to see their worst come out and act in a way that they would not be proud of.  Unfortunately, that’s what one man in Pennsylvania is accused of doing with regards to a contested child custody case that led to his arrest on suspicion of several criminal charges.

 

Specifically, the case concerned a man and his girlfriend who had a child together.  When they broke up, they worked out a child custody agreement that was approved by the local court.  However, the man later allegedly set up a fake email account in the name of his ex-girlfriend and sent himself a threatening message.  He used that message in an attempt to dismiss the court-approved custody agreement.  However, the ex-girlfriend claimed that she did not send that message, and police investigated the matter.

As a result of the investigation, police found that the email was actually sent from an IP address at the man’s place of employment.  Therefore, he was arrested on suspicion of several charges that included identity theft, obstruction of justice and unlawful use of a computer.  These are considered felonies in Pennsylvania and the man could face prison time if he is convicted.
