Marshall Nicholas Fain, of New Haven, pleaded guilty on Wednesday, Aug. 31, to one count of cyberstalking and one count of transmitting threats through interstate commerce, United States Attorney Rachael Rollins announced on Wednesday, Sept. 7.
Fain was arrested and charged on Feb. 2, the US Attorney's Office said.
According to the report, Fain was in a relationship with the victim for about two years, and the relationship ended in August 2021.
From September 2021 through December 2021, Fain sent the victim messages threatening to kill her and members of her family, Rollins reported.
He created different social media and email accounts and used them to threaten to kill and torture the victim, the US Attorney's Office said.
"In response to the end of his two-year relationship with the victim, Mr. Fain terrorized her for several months, making her fear for her life and the lives of her family," Rollins said. "In the face of aggressively disturbing and intimidating threats, this woman bravely notified federal authorities of Mr. Fain’s abusive behavior.
"Thanks to this woman’s enormous strength and courage, Mr. Fain must now answer for the fear and pain he caused."
Rollins said Fain's sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 21.
