Some guys just don't know how to take "no" for an answer gracefully. Jan Szczerba certainly didn't. He hit the Internet and posted up a round of nude images he claimed were the woman who spurned him. And then he claimed to a newspaper that his victim jeopardized him.
He didn't stop there in his revenge cyberattack on oil worker Maureen Jennings, according to the Daily Record. He also posted her personal and business details with the fake photos, urging those logging onto the online bulletin board he used to contact her. He also sent 41 fake legal letters telling people they were entitled to a share of Jennings' estate, the Record added.
Szczerba's revenge cyberattack caused havoc on Jennings' employers, the paper said, when they were forced to hire extra operators to handle the "huge number" of incoming calls that followed. The man pleaded guilty to a breach-of-peace charge, but he wouldn't exactly come clean on his behavior, the Record said.
"This case has totally blackened my name," Szczerba told the paper. "The whole affair has been hanging over my head since last year. I just want it over with. It's only breach of the peace. Anyone who knows me knows I am of good character. Mrs. Jennings has jeopardized everything."
All this because he became infatuated with Jennings on one day when they traveled to work together, the Record said. She refused his advances, and that kicked off the hate campaign.
