LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A Lincoln man has been sentenced to two years in federal prison for cyberstalking.
Alec Eiland, 20, was sentenced Thursday in Lincoln’s federal court, the Lincoln Journal Star reported.
Eiland had earlier pleaded guilty.
FBI investigators said Eiland used social media accounts last year to harass, threaten and stalk two women who rejected his romantic advances.
Prosecutors expanded on the allegations, saying Eiland sent an Instagram message threatening to rape one woman if she didn’t kill herself. Officials say he also posted her photo and contact information online and invited solicitations for sex.
A second woman accused Eiland of sending her demands for nude photos or he would rape her significant other or put a car bomb on her vehicle, prosecutors said.
In addition to prison time, Eiland was given three years of supervised release and ordered to pay $1,822 in restitution.
