Woman accused of using Internet to try to break up marriage
October 26, 2007

WATERFORD, Conn. --A 34-year-old Uncasville woman has been charged with
using the Internet to try to get revenge on an old boyfriend by breaking up
his marriage.

Pilar Stofega has been charged with second-degree harassment and breach of
peace and released on $2,500 bond.

Waterford police say she created phony profiles of the former boyfriend's
current wife on some adult Web sites that included the wife's home and work
phone numbers and high school yearbook picture.

Stofega said she did to it "to be vindictive, knowing that the profiles
would create marital problems between" the victim and her husband, according
to court documents.

The plot came to life when strange men started calling a Waterford woman's
house over the summer, saying they had seen her profile on an adult Web
site.

The man Stofega had dated eight years ago used his own computer to
investigate and discovered someone had created a profile for his wife on
several Internet sites, according to court records.

Police say the husband did more online investigating and was able to find
out that the person behind the phony profiles of his wife was the woman he
dated in 1999. He passed the information on to Waterford police, leading to
Stofega's arrest last week.

Waterford police got a court order to seize Stofega's Internet records. They
reviewed the account records before searching her house in late September.

Stofega was at the house when police served the warrant. Officers said she
provided them with a sworn written statement in which she admitted to
intentionally creating the profiles in the victim's likeness on the adult
Web sites.

Stofega is scheduled to appear in New London Superior Court on Monday. Court
records did not list an attorney and her phone number was not listed.
