According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida (USAO), U.S. District Judge Susan C. Bucklew sentenced Dominique Dragan, 29, of Tampa, to three years and one month in federal prison, followed by three years supervised release, for cyberstalking two victims.

Dragan had pleaded guilty on May 25, 2022.

According to court documents, from approximately January 2020 through July 2021, Dragan engaged in a course of conduct with the intent to harass and intimidate multiple victims. Using Instagram, Dragan reportedly cyberstalked, harassed, and threatened the victims with a series of continuous messages.

He allegedly made specific threats to kill the victims, including by stating, “I can’t wait to hear the bones in your neck break,” “I’m gonna put a bullet in your forehead,” and “I can’t wait to murder you,” the USAO said.

Dragan also reportedly included racially charged language and warned the victims not to report his threats to law enforcement. Dragan’s conduct placed the victims in reasonable fear of serious injury and death, the USAO said.

This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Ilyssa M. Spergel.
