United States of America v. Justin Glauthier

Providence, Rhode Island, criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with stalking through facilities of interstate commerce in violation of 18 U.S.C. 2261A(2)(B).

Reported by: Kent Morlan

Justin Glauthier, age 31, of Anaheim, California, obtained women’s names, photographs, and other personal information from the internet and used that information to make repeated, unwanted, sexually explicit, and threatening calls.

During dozens of calls to at least nine identified victims, Glauthier, using a false name and hiding his identity by creating voice of internet protocol phone numbers or the *67 function on his phone, made sexually explicit and threatening statements, at times claiming to know where victims lived or worked and threatening to appear at their homes or workplaces if they did not comply with his demands to continue speaking with him or describing the sexual acts he wanted or was planning to do with the victims. On some of the calls, Glauthier would tell victims that he had masturbated to their online photos and would masturbate while on a call with a victim.

An investigation conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Providence Resident Agency and FBI’s Orange County, California, Resident Agency linked the calls to Glauthier, who was arrested in Anaheim on March 5, 2025.

The Defendant pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 36 months’ imprisonment, followed by three years of supervised release, and ordered to pay $400 special assessments. Glauthier previously pleaded guilty to four counts of stalking through cellular and internet communications.
