Details:
Megan Jaquiss,25, previously worked as a Child Protective Investigator Trainee.Between October of 2018 to September 11, 2019, Jaquiss sent her ex-boyfriend hundreds of harassing text messages and accessed multiple online accounts in the victim's name without his consent for the purpose of harassment. She used cellphone apps to disguise her number to make it appear as though text messages and phone calls were coming from other telephone numbers.
Jaquiss filed false complaints online to the Pasco County government reporting that the victim had committed acts of animal cruelty and noise violations, which she knew to be untrue. During the month of August, Jaquiss also used the victim's personal information to file a job application online with a plumbing company for the sole purpose of annoying and harassing him.
Jaquiss was arrested on Friday and charged with stalking, sending threatening or harassing telephone calls, harassment by use of personal identification and accessing a computer or electronic device without authority.
"I hold any employee of the Sheriff's Office to the highest standards. Our jobs are to protect the public and make others feel safe. The behavior of this former employee is not a reflection of our office," said Sheriff Chad Chronister. "No one, regardless of gender, should have to deal with being repeatedly contacted and harassed. We are thankful that the person Ms. Jaquiss was harassing spoke up. I hope any victim who is dealing with stalking or unwanted attention has the courage to reach out to the Sheriff's Office for
help."
