AURORA, IL — Edson Diaz of Aurora, IL has been charged with felony cyberstalking of Playboy’s Miss August 2001, Jennifer Walcott. He was arrested earlier this week and was released on $20,000 bond.According to the Kane County State Attorney’s office, Diaz contacted Walcott through her Myspace page at least two times that they can confirm.
Diaz is believed to be the first person charged with cyberstalking in Aurora. In May, a Playboy representative contacted Aurora police to let them know that Walcott had been threatened by a resident of their city.
Aurora police do not believe Diaz knew Walcott, who resides in Arizona. In his e-mails, Diaz allegedly called Walcott “white trash” and repeatedly threatened her. In all capital letters and with little punctuation, Diaz allegedly told Walcott she is pathetic and shameful.
“WHEN I FIND OUT WHERE YOU LIVE IM GONNA GET YOU, THIS IS BARELY THE BEGINNING, THIS ISN’T OVER,” he wrote in one note, prosecutors said.
In another, Diaz allegedly tells Walcott she needs to learn how to protect herself.
“TIME FOR YOU TO SUFFER, LEARN HOW TO FIGHT WHITE GIRL BECAUSE WHEN WE FIND OUT WHERE YOU LIVE WERE GONNA GET YOU AND THE REST OF YOU PIGS,” he wrote, according to prosecutors.
Walcott is currently dating Adam Archuleta, the 6-foot, 223-pound safety for the Chicago Bears.
According to Aurora prosecutors, Walcott expressed concerns about Diaz’s alleged threats because she is planning a move to the Chicago area before the season starts in less than a month.
