PORTLAND, Ore.—On June 24, 2019, Bob Ibenne Ugwa, 50, of
Portland, pleaded guilty to cyberstalking and anonymous telecommunications
harassment after making repeated threatening and harassing telephone calls to
seven individuals over an eight-year period.
According to court documents, between 2011 and 2018, Ugwa
made thousands of anonymous, interstate telephone calls from Oregon to seven
victims in Pennsylvania. In these calls, Ugwa threatened or harassed each
victim by breathing heavily, moaning, and saying sexually explicit things.
Telephone records were used to confirm Ugwa’s threatening calls. Each of the
victims made multiple unsuccessful attempts to stop Ugwa from calling, citing
substantial emotional distress.
Ugwa faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison, a
$250,000 fine and three years of supervised release. He will be sentenced on
September 10, 2019 before U.S. District Court Judge Michael W. Mosman.
This case was investigated by the FBI and is being
prosecuted by Hannah Horsley, Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of
Oregon.
