Utah County Woman Sentenced to Prison for Cyberstalking Two Victims She Met via Online Dating Platforms

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah - A Utah County woman was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment today for cyberstalking two male victims she met on online dating platforms and became obsessed with them.

The sentence, imposed by U.S. District Court Judge Ted Stewart, comes after Kailin Wang, 43, of Spanish Fork, Utah, pleaded guilty on September 30, 2025, to two counts of cyberstalking. In addition to her term of imprisonment, Wang was sentenced to three years of supervised release, including conditions to protect the victims and their families.

According to court documents and statements made at Wang's change of plea and sentencing hearings, Wang connected with the victims separately on online dating sites in 2017 and 2018 and became obsessed with each victim. Using multiple accounts, fake names, social media accounts, and phone numbers, she harassed and disparaged them publicly and privately, tagging their friends, family, and employers.

On three separate occasions, Wang reported the victims to the federal Internet Crimes Complaint Center (IC3) claiming she was being harassed and impersonated online by them. Wang reported that they did these things together, even though there is no evidence that the victims had any relation to each other. Wang admitted that she filed the IC3 complaints to get law enforcement to investigate the victims in order to harass and intimidate them.

Wang's crimes against victim 1 and victim 2 are not isolated incidents. Wang engaged in a pattern of stalking behavior in 2013 and was convicted in the state of New York.

United States Attorney Melissa Holyoak of the District of Utah made the announcement.

The case was investigated by the FBI Salt Lake City Field Office. Valuable assistance was provided by the San Francisco Police Department.

Assistant United States Attorney Joey L. Blanch of The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Utah prosecuted the case.
