ANCHORAGE, Alaska – A federal jury has delivered a verdict of guilty against 40-year-old Rolando Hernandez-Zemora following a five-day trial for cyberstalking. The Anchorage resident was accused of tormenting his victim over an extended period using various digital methods.
Court documents and trial evidence revealed that Hernandez-Zemora, between 2016 and 2020, employed location tracking apps, text messages, video calls, and other means to control the life of the victim. His harassment escalated in 2020, involving threats of violence against the victim’s workplace colleagues and family members.
Despite obtaining a protective order by the victim, Hernandez-Zemora continued his campaign of terror. This led to the victim’s workplace being placed on lockdown for several days from late April to early May 2020. The perpetrator was finally apprehended in late May after evading law enforcement for two days.
U.S. Attorney S. Lane Tucker expressed commendation for the victim’s bravery and highlighted the seriousness of the case, stating, ‘Mr. Hernandez-Zemora is a serious danger to the community, as demonstrated by his desire to harm the victim, her colleagues, and her family.’ The office will continue its pursuit of justice against those who threaten violence.
Special Agent in Charge Rebecca Day of the FBI Anchorage Field Office emphasized that such conduct would not be tolerated, underscoring the commitment to hold accountable those who commit such crimes. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jennifer Ivers and Seth Beausang prosecuted this case.
The FBI Anchorage Field Office and the Anchorage Police Department conducted the investigation into the cyberstalking case.
