St. Louis Park Man Sentenced In 'Vicious And Cruel' Cyberstalking Case

ST. LOUIS PARK, MN — A St. Louis Park man was sentenced to 46 months in prison and three years of supervised release after harassing two victims over the Internet, U.S. Attorney Andrew M. Luger announced Tuesday.

Julyen Alonzo Martin, 30, was convicted on two counts of cyberstalking.

At the sentencing hearing, Judge Susan Richard Nelson described the case as "one of the most vicious and cruel cyberstalking cases" she’s encountered and said Martin committed acts "capable of destroying the lives" of his victims.

From September 2020 through December 2021, Martin cyberstalked and threatened to kill, injure, and harass his victims, authorities said.

While violating orders of protection issued against him, Martin sent numerous threats and unwanted messages via text message and social media applications directed at the victims and their families, according to authorities.

Among his threats was "I will [expletive] up your life as long as I live. Someone better come kill me right now. Before I kill somebody. You know what I wanna do," investigators said.

Martin harassed the two victims in other ways, authorities said, including:

• Martin created social media accounts posing as one of the victims online and posted harmful claims about both victims
• Martin contacted the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and falsely claimed that one of the victims was using their work computer to view child pornography
• Martin emailed and called the victim’s employer several times claiming the victim was a pedophile being investigated
• Martin posed as an FBI Special Agent who wanted to search one of the victim’s place of work for evidence
