A California man is facing federal charges in Florida following a grand jury indictment for cyberstalking. Jeremy Ryan, 38, of San Diego, was charged in Tampa after an investigation led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
United States Attorney Gregory W. Kehoe announced the charges on Friday, noting that the case will move forward in the Middle District of Florida.
The legal documents allege that over a three-month period—specifically from October through December 2025—Ryan engaged in a pattern of targeted harassment.

The indictment claims Ryan used various forms of electronic communication to message an individual, referred to in court papers as Victim 1. Prosecutors allege these communications were sent with the specific intent to kill, injure, harass, and intimidate the victim.
If the case results in a conviction, Ryan faces a maximum of five years in federal prison. The prosecution is being led by Assistant United States Attorney Abigail K. King.
No trial date has been set at this time.
