An Oregon resident, Lewis Floyd, 40, has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Boston on charges of cyberstalking and making interstate threats against a Massachusetts state prosecutor. Floyd was arrested and charged by criminal complaint in December 2025 and is expected to appear in federal court in Boston at a later date.
Court documents indicate that Floyd has previously been convicted multiple times in state court for making death threats. His most recent conviction occurred in Bristol County Superior Court, where he allegedly made repeated threats to kill and maim personnel at the Children’s Advocacy Center in Bristol County, Massachusetts. After his release from state prison, authorities allege that Floyd continued to issue death threats against a Massachusetts state prosecutor and their family.
If convicted as a repeat offender on the charge of cyberstalking, Floyd faces up to 10 years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a fine of up to $250,000. Sentencing will be determined by a federal district court judge according to the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and relevant statutes.
United States Attorney Leah B. Foley and Ted E. Docks, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Boston Division, announced the indictment. The Massachusetts State Police and Fall River Police Department provided assistance with the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Eric L. Hawkins from the Major Crimes Unit is prosecuting the case.
“The details contained in the charging documents are allegations. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.”
