The former commander of the San Diego-based Naval warship Pearl Harbor was convicted by a federal jury Friday of cyberstalking an ex-girlfriend by creating fake online accounts in her name and posting private photos of her “without her consent and with the intent to hurt and embarrass her.”
Prosecutors said Essenfeld was finalizing a divorce in the spring of 2018 when he and the victim met on the dating site match.com. The couple dated for about three years, though prosecutors said both went back on the dating site at various times without telling each other. About half of their relationship was long-distance after the Navy transferred Essenfeld in January 2020 to Colorado.
Essenfeld later posted sexually explicit photos of the victim with a man whose face is not visible, prosecutors said, though they believe the man in the photos is Essenfeld.
