(Cresco, IA) — A northeast Iowa man will spend ten years in federal prison after admitting to continually harassing a Minnesota woman for nearly two years.
Fifty-eight-year-old Michael Shawn McGuire of Cresco was sentenced for his December 2020 guilty pleas to four counts of cyberstalking. Information disclosed at the hearings showed that McGuire met the woman in 2017 through an online dating website. They broke up after seven months — and McGuire began texting and emailing the woman harassing messages and later used Facebook to harass her.
McGuire must also pay a 15-thousand dollar fine, and 17-thousand-500 dollars in restitution to the victim.
