Hawaii man stalked Utah family for months by sending plumbers, locksmiths and hundreds of [tr]

A Hawaii man is accused of conducting an elaborate cyberstalking campaign against a Utah woman and her father by sending unwanted repairmen, food deliveries and other visitors to their home.

The father estimates that between August 2018 and March more than 500 people came to their North Salt Lake home at the alleged stalker's behest, and that some of the visits stemmed from the suspect "posting the family's address on Craigslist stating that the homeowner wants drugs and prostitutes to come to the house," according to a federal motion to detain the suspect.(snip)

There are few details available about the transporting-for-prostitution charges. US Attorney John Huber declined to provide information during a news conference, and Okamura's indictment says only that in June and July of 2018, he is accused of transporting the Utah woman he allegedly stalked to Hawaii with the intent that she "engage in prostitution."

As for the threat counts, Okamura is accused of contacting the woman and, according to the indictment, telling her in an email: "Sleep with one eye open and keep looking over your shoulder you crazy bitch we are coming for you and your dumba** daddy and crazy a** mommy."

Okamura also allegedly told her, "You should just kill yourself and do your family a favor already."

The motion to detain also alleges that in January 2019, "Okamura left egregious amounts of unwanted voicemails on the adult woman's voicemail, including multiple messages per day."(snip)

Okamura allegedly continued the stalking even after the family obtained cease-and-desist orders and a civil stalking injunction in Utah, court documents say.

Okamura had a detention hearing Wednesday in Honolulu. He is being held without bail in the custody of the United States Marshals Service, court records show.

From a different article....His attorney, Sharron Rancourt, noted that Okamura’s wife died earlier this year and that he and his family were grieving. She said it has been “a difficult situation and a difficult time for him and for his family.”

Oh, good grief. Yep, the best way to honor his dead wife is to stalk a family.

If I am reading the timeline correctly, the stalking started well before the wife passed away.

Yep - I read that...which makes the attorney’s statement even more pathetic.

Most Utah residents tend to be conservative, while Hawaiians tend to be Communists, so that could very well have motivated the stalker...

Obviously the prisoners were guilty of time travel from the 19th to the 15th century.

Had dinner at a friends restaurant this week and she was a victim of a rather elaborate scam as well.

The scammer even had ab”Go Fund Me” campaign setup, claiming theyvwere going out of business.

All kinds of stuff posted all over the internet and she paid a ton of money tracking it down and having it removed.

Man I hate putting hits on CNN’s website. I was hoping to find a reason. They probably vacationed in Hawaii and had some kind of dispute with him over an Airbnb house or something, I don’t know how else they would’ve been in contact with the guy. It’s pretty sad that you have to put this kind of sign in front of your house. I hope that psycho does some real time.

"is it time to bring this back?"



Yes! Especially for minor crimes like shoplifting,
juvenile vandalism, etc. Public humiliation is
a good way make many people think twice about
committing a crime.

Exactly, go up on a mountain and go get your head centered again. Happiness is messing with somebody else?

Most of them are. Attorney, that’s a job where you can’t have a conscience. No wonder substance abuse and suicide are so prevalent in the field. You can’t make a life ruining the lives of the innocent unless you’re a psychopath. Most of them aren’t.
