CLARKSBURG, W.Va. – A federal jury returned a guilty verdict Friday convicting John Bartley, 56, of Inwood, of multiple federal stalking charges.
Evidence presented at trial indicated that Bartley harassed his former girlfriend by mailing indecent photographs of her to others after the victim ended the relationship.
Bartley mailed lewd photographs of the victim to her brother, to her ex-husband, and to prior and prospective employers of the victim.
Following a three day trial, a jury found Bartley guilty of three counts of “Stalking” and one count of “Interstate Violation of a Protective Order.”
He faces up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 on each count.
