Bayside Man Charged with Cyberstalking and Transmitting Interstate Threats
Brad D. Schimel, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, announced that on December 16, 2025, a federal grand jury indicted Bradley S. Rose, 41, of Bayside, Wisconsin, with two counts of cyberstalking in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 2261A, and one count of transmitting interstate threats, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 875(c). Rose appeared in court today for his initial appearance and arraignment.
According to the indictment, Rose used an electronic communication service and system of interstate commerce to engage in a course of conduct that placed two victims in reasonable fear of death or serious bodily injury, and caused, and attempted to cause, substantial emotional distress to the victims. The indictment also alleges that Rose transmitted in interstate commerce a series of Apple iMessages containing a threat to injure one of the same victims.
If convicted, Rose faces up to 5 years’ imprisonment and a fine of up to $250,000 for each count.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Milwaukee Field Office. It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Peter J. Smyczek.
An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. The defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial at which the government must prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
