HAGÅTÑA (The Guam Daily Post) — A man faces five years in federal prison after pleading guilty to his involvement in a cyberstalking investigation.
On Friday in the District Court of Guam, Eric Anthony Galvan pleaded guilty to unauthorized access of a protected computer.
Galvan, who was indicted in August 2023, was accused of harassing a person for a week in March 2023.
The indictment detailed allegations starting March 4, 2023. Galvan allegedly texted a photo of the victim’s house keys before going to the home without the victim’s knowledge or consent while the victim was away from home.
Over the next two days, Galvan allegedly placed an AirTag, a device designed to track items, in the victim’s car without the victim’s knowledge and went to the residence again without the victim’s knowledge or consent.
“While in the residence, (the) defendant accessed (the victim’s) electronic device and photographed personal and intimate conversations between (the victim) and another person, including nude images,” according to the indictment.
Galvan later prevented the victim from filing a police report and obtaining a protection order from the court.
On March 12, 2023, Galvan allegedly traveled to the victim’s residence without consent and filmed the victim engaged in sexual activity with another person and sent it to another person using Apple iMessage.
“(The) defendant threatened (the victim) via iMessage that he would send the above-referenced video to (the victim’s) family members,” according to the indictment, which also charges Galvan with video voyeurism and unauthorized access of a protected computer.
Galvan, who faces five years in federal prison for the unauthorized access of a protected computer charge, is scheduled to be sentenced April 18.
