NEW HAVEN, Conn. — A Springfield, Virginia man was charged Monday in New Haven with cyberstalking three sitting Connecticut Superior Court Judges.
Paul Boyne, 62, of Springfield, Virginia, was arraigned Friday in New Haven Superior Court following his extradition from Fairfax, Virginia.
Officials said on July 21, Boyne was arrested on 18 counts of felony Stalking and Electronic Stalking for cyberstalking three sitting Connecticut Superior Court Judges.
His bond was set at $750,000 and the case was continued to November 1. The judge issued three protective orders against Boyne prohibiting him from threatening, harassing, stalking and/or having any contact with the three judges.
Officials said that the arrest is a result of a years-long investigation into the website “thefamilycourtcircus.com.” Boyne, who formerly lived in Connecticut, is alleged to have authored and maintained the website from his home in Virginia and used online postings to stalk and threaten the judges. The website additionally provides commentary on attorneys, family court litigants, and court proceedings, primarily in the state of Connecticut.
The case was investigated by the Connecticut State Police Computer Crimes Unit and Hate Crimes Unit.
