Justin Leung, 23, has been sentenced to 24 months in prison for cyberstalking and threatening to kidnap, violently rape, and humiliate the women or their relatives "through the degradation of their bodies" after they turned him down.

Over the course of several months earlier this year, prosecutors say that the Norfolk man sent unwanted and threatening messages to his victims, including some that showed him pleasuring himself, much to their displeasure.

Further investigation into Leung found phone records that included misogynistic statements such as "women bring nothing to the table except what there(sic) bodies have to offer” and women “shouldn’t be allowed to choose (their partners),” they noted.

According to officials, the threats even reached such levels that at least one of the women he targeted was so spooked that she had to take protective measures as a precaution.

He was being held at the Western Tidewater Regional Jail in Virginia.
