>A 34-year-old 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.
