Brett Michael Dadig, 31, Pleads Guilty to Cyberstalking Charges

A resident of Whitehall Borough, Pennsylvania, pleaded guilty in federal court to charges of cyberstalking, interstate stalking, and interstate threats.

Brett Michael Dadig, 31, pleaded guilty to 11 counts before United States District Judge Marilyn J. Horan on March 19, 2026.

In connection with the guilty plea, the Court was advised that, from May through November 2025, Dadig traveled in interstate commerce to multiple states and used facilities of interstate commerce with the intent to harass and intimidate numerous female victims, in many of whom the defendant had a romantic interest.

Several of the victims were employees of fitness establishments across multiple states.

Dadig harassed, threatened, and intimidated 11 female victims—including from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, Iowa, and New York—in person and through posts on social media, his podcast, text messages, and phone calls.

He showed up to their homes and places of business unannounced and uninvited, followed victims from their places of business, took and posted pictures of them online without their consent, and revealed private details online.

Two of Dadig’s Pittsburgh victims obtained Protection from Abuse (PFA) orders against him, which he violated both online and in person.

When Dadig was banned from gyms and businesses and was reported to the police in one city, he would move on to another city to continue his stalking course of conduct.

Assistant United States Attorneys Nicole Vasquez Schmitt and Hillary M. Weaver are prosecuting this case on behalf of the government.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation conducted the investigation that led to the prosecution of Dadig, with the assistance of multiple local police departments in Pittsburgh and across the country.

Judge Horan scheduled sentencing for July 9, 2026. The law provides for a total sentence of not less than 12 months of prison for each charge involving a PFA violation and up to 55 years in prison, a fine of up to $2.75 million, or both.

Pending sentencing, Dadig will remain in federal custody.
