Brett Dadig, 31, of Whitehall Borough, Pennsylvania, admitted in federal court today to a chilling, multi-state campaign of terror against eleven women between May and November 2025. The feds say Dadig wasn’t just a keyboard creep; he escalated from online harassment and social media doxxing to showing up uninvited at victims’ homes and jobs, making direct threats, and violating court-ordered Protection from Abuse orders. The case stretches across state lines, earning him interstate stalking charges.
The indictment paints a picture of relentless obsession. Dadig allegedly plastered unauthorized photos of his targets online, broadcasting their private details to anyone who’d look. Gyms banned him after complaints, and local police were repeatedly called, but it wasn’t enough to stop him. Court documents even revealed Dadig sought guidance from an AI chatbot while tracking down victims. Talk about a modern monster.
Prosecutors say Dadig ignored multiple warnings and continued his harassment even after being legally prohibited from contact. The eleven-count guilty plea covers a range of offenses related to both cyberstalking and actual, physical stalking. The details are disturbing, showing a deliberate effort to intimidate and control his victims through both digital and real-world means.
Judge Marilyn J. Horan hasn’t set a sentencing date yet. Dadig is looking at serious time for this. Federal investigators, likely working with the FBI, built the case and brought the charges. It’s a stark reminder that online harassment can quickly bleed into real-world danger, and that crossing state lines adds significant federal penalties.
