Officials say that during the 2015-16 school year, Waitze used the internet to harass and intimidate another Drexel student following a personal dispute. Waitze impersonated the victim in a variety of internet forums, officials say, suggesting the victim was either a pedophile who needed help or someone interested in receiving child pornography material. In doing so, the communications and statements Waitze made typically included the victim’s true name, the victim’s actual email address, photographs of the victim, and other personal details about the victim. As a result, the victim received multiple unwanted emails, both from persons who were offended by the posts and from persons who wanted to engage the victim in conversations related to child pornography.
