Rhode Island Man Sentenced for Placing Threatening Telephone Calls and Cyberstalking a Wisconsin Resident

Matthew D. Krueger, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, announced that on  January 22, 2020, Aaron T. Moul, a/k/a “The Panty Man,” a/k/a “Jazmyn Samuels,” a/k/a “Aaron Timothy” (age: 29) of North Providence, Rhode Island, was sentenced to 48 months in federal prison by Senior U.S. District Judge William C. Griesbach. 

In October of 2020, Moul pled guilty to one count of use of a telephone with the intent to abuse, threaten, or harass, and one count of cyberstalking. Moul’s crimes occurred in April of 2020, when he used his online persona “The Panty Man,” to contact a resident of Langlade County via Facebook and the telephone, to convey threats to injure and kill that person. Over a series of days, Moul repeated his threats while also sending sexualized images and videos of himself displayed and “twerking” in women’s underwear. Simultaneously, Moul was sending similar threats and videos to a resident of Arizona.

In pronouncing sentence, Judge Griesbach noted the insidious nature of Moul’s crimes, which displayed a high level of anger and misogyny toward his victims. Judge Griesbach noted Moul’s previous convictions for similar crimes in other states for which he had received “slaps on the wrist.” Finally, the judge determined that deterrence and the protection of the community were of utmost importance in arriving at a just sentence. Moul’s prison sentence will be followed by three years on supervised release.  

This case was investigated by the Langlade County Sheriff’s Office, the North Providence Rhode Island Police Department, and the United States Marshal’s Service. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Daniel R. Humble.
