Summary
Federal prosecutors charged Haverford religion professor Guangtian Ha with one count of cyberstalking and took him into custody Tuesday.
Court filings say Ha used anonymous social media posts to terrorize a Jewish faculty colleague, publishing the victim’s home address, infant child’s name, a mailbox photo and repeated antisemitic threats.
Messages cited by prosecutors included “Get out of my country” and, in February, a warning that blurring the home on Google Maps and installing a security camera “won’t help.”
Court records do not name the alleged victim, but three people familiar with the matter identified the target as a Jewish faculty member, underscoring the case’s antisemitic dimension.
