Warrant Issued For Anelli Cyber-Stalker

Today the New York Daily News broke the story that Melissa Anelli’s cyber-stalker, Jessica Parker, a resident of New Zealand, now has a warrant out for her arrest thanks to the diligent work of the FBI. Anelli, as many of you know, is the Founder of LeakyNews. This news follows a five-year long cyber-stalking ordeal, which has included harassment and threats sent to Melissa herself, her family, and even spammed on the sites that she owns (including LeakyNews). It began in 2008 when Parker was banned from The Leaky Cauldron for making threatens against one of the actresses involved in the Potter films, and it’s carried on since.

Though Parker was previously arrested in New Zealand in connection with the stalking and harassment, it ended in differed prosecution, and thus this terrible behavior has continued unchecked. Now, with a warrant for Parker’s arrest served up by the FBI, there may be a better chance of justice being served.

We on the LeakyNews staff are incredibly grateful that the FBI is working to guarantee the safety and security of our beloved founder. The court documents paint a picture of a frightening and unbalanced individual, who routinely made violent threats against the lives of herself, Melissa, and many others connected to her. It’s not the kind of thing that anyone should ever have to deal with.

Melissa Anelli had the following comment to make regarding the development:

“It has been a long five years of continuous threats and abuse, not only to me but my family, friends, and colleagues. I only hope it’s carried through to justice being served. I want to thank the Leaky community for its constant support over the past decade-plus, and for its support now.”
