⏱ 2 min read

Kyle Andrew Edwards, a 59-year-old from Alexander, North Carolina, has pleaded guilty to doxxing a United States Supreme Court Justice by posting their home address online with the intent to threaten, intimidate, or incite violence. The incident occurred between April and June 2026, when Edwards used a social media account to post critical and threatening comments about certain Supreme Court Justices. Edwards’ posts included statements like the Supreme Court “must be destroyed” and targeted a specific Justice.

Edwards’ actions are considered a serious offense, as doxxing can expose officials to harm and facilitate violent crimes. U.S. Attorney Russ Ferguson emphasized that doxxing is a dangerous act that can have severe consequences, and that threatening or harming federal officials is not an acceptable way to effect change.

The case highlights the importance of taking doxxing seriously and the need to protect public officials from threats and intimidation. Edwards’ guilty plea demonstrates that law enforcement will hold individuals accountable for such actions.

The incident serves as a reminder of the potential consequences of online behavior and the importance of respecting the privacy and safety of public officials. As U.S. Attorney Ferguson stated, “Threatening or harming federal officials is not the way to change policy. If you want to change policy, get involved and go vote.”
