CONCORD – A Dover man plead guilty yesterday in federal court for stalking three women he was in romantic relationships with by using anonymous phone numbers and email accounts to create a fictious stalker, Acting U.S. Attorney Jay McCormack announces.
Jason Subirana, age 48, pleaded guilty in federal court in Concord to three counts of Stalking. U.S. District Court Judge Steven J. McAuliffe scheduled sentencing for August 27, 2025.
According to the charging documents and statements made in court, between November 2016 - December 2021, the defendant stalked three women he was in romantic relationships with. He used more than 50 anonymous phone numbers, provided by TextNow, and anonymous email accounts to send over 650 harassing messages to the three victims from a fictious stalker. He attempted to manipulate his victims, catch them in lies, and cause emotional distress. For example, he sent one victim a text message that read:
“How can you b*tch to everyone about your birthday? You should be grateful he’s put up with all your lies and shit for so long. Stop trying to make him look like a bad guy, he’s the best thing you have and lucky he hasn’t put you to the curb like the trash bag that you are. Own your shit and stop lying to everyone. You want more? Be honest to EVERYONE around you. Stop thinking you are smarter than everyone.”
In addition to sending harassing communications to the victims, the defendant also sent himself harassing messages from the fictious stalker using anonymous accounts. For example, the defendant texted himself from an anonymous TextNow number, “Do you really think you're the only one she's banging? You really should get yourself tested. Put something in the mail for you keep an eye out for it.” On February 10, 2021, the defendant texted himself from an anonymous TextNow number, “How many times do you think she’s going to take it this afternoon before coming to give you sloppy seconds?"
The defendant also collected compromising information about the victims and then sent the compromising information to himself under the guise that he received it from “the stalker”. For example, the defendant gained access to Victim 2's email account and forwarded himself an email exchange from 2015 where Victim 2 mentioned a potential romance with an acquaintance of hers. The defendant orchestrated a series of email forwards through anonymous accounts before making its way back to Victim 2. This email controversy led to Victim 2 admitting to the defendant a prior romantic relationship with that acquaintance, with the defendant responding, “You're only telling me this now because of the email you got. What else are you hiding from me?” and "What wlse [sic] is out there? Has this all been based on lies???”
The defendant actively distanced himself from “the stalker” by accusing innocent individuals of being his victim’s “stalker.” For example, the defendant sent numerous harassing messages to a male colleague of Victim 3. Between April 22, 2018, and August 15, 2018, the defendant sent 52 harassing text messages to the victim’s colleague from at least five anonymous TextNow numbers. The defendant also sent the victim’s colleague numerous explicit photos of a woman's body that resembled Victim 3 but was not in fact Victim 3. When Victim 3 described this to the defendant in messages, he then sent himself multiple messages from “the stalker,” including two of the explicit photos that he had sent to the victim’s colleague and suggested to Victim 3 that her colleague was in fact her stalker.
The charging statute provides for a sentence of a maximum penalty of 5 years in prison. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and statutes which govern the determination of a sentence in a criminal case.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation led the investigation. Assistant U.S Attorney John Kennedy is prosecuting the case.
