BOSTON, MA — A Londonderry, New Hampshire man was arrested Wednesday for allegedly cyberstalking a Massachusetts victim through social media, text messages and various online platforms.
Brad Cerullo, 46, was charged by criminal complaint with one count of cyberstalking.
Cerullo was arrested Wednesday morning and, following an initial appearance, was ordered detained pending a hearing scheduled for March 27 at 2 p.m. in federal court in Boston.
According to the charging documents, between March 2021 and May 2025, the victim received approximately 72 text messages to her cell phone from at least 26 unknown senders, many from VoIP numbers.
Several of the text messages referenced her photos or personal information on impersonation Twitter accounts.
It is alleged that two of the unknown VoIP numbers were traced to Cerullo.
Over 340 of the victim’s images, including sexually explicit images and videos stolen from a secure device in the victim’s possession, and at least 10 accounts, including four accounts containing the victim’s name, were allegedly used to impersonate and further a campaign to shame, defame, harass or otherwise cause the victim substantial emotional distress.
The defendant allegedly posted sexually provocative statements, including a post that indicated the victim wanted to be sexually assaulted.
The defendant also allegedly directed others on social media to produce, post and repost sexually explicit material of the victim.
The charge of stalking by electronic means provides for a sentence of up to five years in prison, three years of supervised release and a fine of $250,000.
