Robert Campbell 42-year-old from Ottawa faces nearly 200 charges of identity fraud,
defamation and criminal harassment charges involving 38 people across
Canada, the U.S. and U.K.
Ottawa police announced the charges Friday morning after an
eight-month investigation involving police departments in B.C., Ontario,
New Brunswick and Halifax, as well as Michigan in the U.S.,
and Hertforshire and London in the U.K.
RCMP and Ottawa police worked together by "utilizing investigative
techniques that allowed for the identification of the unidentified
suspect who was using internet anonymity software," Ottawa police said
in a media release issued Friday.
A search warrant was executed Thursday in Ottawa's west end. Robert Campbell, 42, was arrested and faces:
- 27 counts of criminal harassment.
- 85 counts of defamation libel.
- 69 counts of identity fraud.
He is expected to appear in an Ottawa courtroom on Friday.
