据美国司法部和知情人士透露，一名马萨诸塞州男子周四被起诉，罪名是涉嫌跟踪播客主播凯蒂·米勒。凯蒂·米勒的丈夫是负责政策的白宫副幕僚长斯蒂芬·米勒。
司法部表示，起诉书中指控来自沃尔瑟姆市、现年41岁的约翰·安东尼·普罗亚三世（John Anthony Proia III），对一名“前政治顾问、共和党知名成员”实施网络跟踪，该人士的配偶是一名“高级联邦政府雇员”。普罗亚在今年8月至9月期间，与对方进行了40多次通话和发送短信。
起诉书中并未指名米勒夫妇，但知情人士向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻证实，他们正是本案受害者。
记者未能立即联系到凯蒂·米勒置评。
她在X平台转发了司法部长托德·布兰奇（Todd Blanche）关于此案的帖子，并写道：“感谢托德·布兰奇、利亚·福利（Leah Foley）和华盛顿分局。”
此次起诉背景是联邦调查局华盛顿分局此前针对该 alleged威胁展开的调查陷入风波。上周，两名高级别反恐联邦调查局特工被降职，此前米勒夫妇投诉联邦调查局对其遭遇的骚扰调查不力。
彭博法律最先报道了此次降职事件。华盛顿分局负责人达伦·考克斯（Darren Cox）随后发表声明称，此次人事决定是他做出的，并非联邦调查局局长卡什·帕特尔（Kash Patel）。
这至少是凯蒂·米勒第二次要求联邦调查局调查所谓的威胁或骚扰事件。
去年，凯蒂·米勒向地方和联邦执法部门投诉当地活动人士芭芭拉·维恩（Barbara Wien），原因是后者在米勒夫妇位于弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿的家附近分发传单，将斯蒂芬·米勒列为“危害人类罪”通缉海报上的人物。
传单上印有斯蒂芬·米勒在阿灵顿的住址，还附带一个二维码，呼吁民众要求国会展开调查。
此次抗议事件促使米勒夫妇搬入军方住房。哥伦比亚广播公司新闻此前曾报道，由于一名治安法官两次驳回对维恩手机的搜查令，针对此事的联邦调查最终陷入僵局。
今年早些时候，针对此事的州级调查宣告结束。阿灵顿和福尔斯彻奇地区检察官帕里萨·德赫加尼-塔夫蒂（Parisa Dehghani-Tafti）在一份冗长的法庭文件中表示，她审查了针对芭芭拉·维恩的证据，认为“搜查令获取的材料中，没有任何内容支持依据州法对其提起刑事诉讼”——该州法将使用他人身份或住址胁迫、恐吓或骚扰的行为定为犯罪。
在周四的这起案件中，检察官表示，普罗亚每天多次使用不同号码拨打骚扰电话，有时还会留下语音留言。
司法部表示，普罗亚还联系了凯蒂·米勒的母亲，并发送了多条令人不安的短信，其中一条以她的名字打招呼，将斯蒂芬·米勒称为“恶魔”，并使用了脏话。
据称，他在发给凯蒂·米勒父亲的另一条短信中写道：“嗨[受害者父亲的名字]，近来可好？希望你女儿嫁给一个犹太纳粹/白人至上主义者的事，对你和[受害者母亲的名字]来说还算顺利。”
普罗亚原定于周四下午5点在联邦法院出庭。哥伦比亚广播公司新闻未能立即联系到他的律师置评。

Man who allegedly harassed Katie Miller indicted for cyberstalking in Massachusetts

By
A Massachusetts man was indicted on Thursday for allegedly cyberstalking podcaster Katie Miller, who is married to White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller, according to the Justice Department and sources familiar with the matter.
The indictment charges John Anthony Proia III, 41, of Waltham, with cyberstalking a “former political advisor and prominent member of the Republican party” who is married to a “high-level federal government employee” with more than 40 calls and texts between August and September of this year, the Justice Department said.
The indictment does not name the Millers, but sources familiar with the case confirmed to CBS News that they are the victims in the case.
Katie Miller could not immediately be reached for comment.
On X, she retweeted a post about the case by Attorney General Todd Blanche and wrote, “Thank you Todd Blanche, Leah Foley and the Washington Field Office.”
The indictment follows a dust-up at the Washington Field Office of the FBI, which was investigating the alleged threats. Last week, two senior-level counterterrorism FBI agents were demoted from their positions, after the Millers complained that the FBI wasn’t doing enough to investigate the harassment.
The demotion was first reported by Bloomberg Law. Darren Cox, who leads the Washington Field Office, later issued a statement saying that he had made the personnel decision, and not FBI Director Kash Patel.
This is at least the second time Katie Miller has asked the FBI to investigate alleged threats or harassment.
Last year, Katie Miller complained to local and federal law enforcement about local activist Barbara Wien after she distributed flyers near the Millers’ Arlington, Virginia, home that showed Stephen Miller on a “Wanted” poster for “crimes against humanity.”
The flyers contained his Arlington address, and they also provided a QR code that urged people to demand a congressional investigation.
The incident with the protesters prompted the Millers to move into military housing.
A federal investigation into the matter hit a dead end after a magistrate judge twice rejected a search warrant for Wien’s phone, CBS News previously reported.
The state investigation into the matter ended earlier this year, after Arlington and Falls Church Commonwealth Attorney Parisa Dehghani-Tafti said in a lengthy court filing that she had reviewed evidence against Barbara Wien and found that “nothing in the proceeds of the search warrant supports criminal prosecution” for violations of a state law that criminalizes using someone’s identity or address as a means to coerce, intimidate or harass.
In the case on Thursday, prosecutors said that Proia called multiple times a day using different numbers, and sometimes left voicemails.
The Justice Department said that Proia also contacted Katie Miller’s mother and left a number of disturbing text messages, including one that greeted her by name, referred to Stephen Miller as “evil” and used an obscenity.
In another text, he allegedly wrote to Katie Miller’s father: “Hey [first name of victim’s father], how goes it? Hope your daughter marrying a Jewish Nazi/white supremacist is working out for you and [first name of victim’s mother].”
Proia was due to appear in federal court at 5 p.m. on Thursday. CBS News could not immediately reach his attorney for comment.
