MARTINSBURG, WEST VIRGINIA - Former Internal Revenue Service employee Victor Anderson, 65, of Martinsburg, West Virginia, pled guilty today to stalking a female coworker, United States Attorney William J. Ihlenfeld, II, announced.
While Anderson was employed at the Internal Revenue Service Computing Center in Martinsburg, he repeatedly used the Internet and traditional mail to distribute letters, photographs, essays, and poems containing sexually explicit information about a female co-worker.
