January 10, 2006Man charged as cyber stalkerAllegedly used the Internet to 'terrorize' girlTRAVERSE CITY - Police believe a local man used his computer to "stalk" an underage girl repeatedly on the Internet and at her Traverse City home.Felony charges were filed Friday in 86th District Court against Robbie Brooks Ohlendorf, 35, of Traverse City, who allegedly used his computer to "stalk" and "terrorize" a 16-year-old girl. Ohlendorf is charged with stalking a minor, two counts of using a computer to commit a crime, and possession of child pornography. Ohlendorf allegedly began contacting the girl in May 2005 on the computer; she repeatedly told him to stop, according to court records. Grand Traverse County sheriff's officials said Ohlendorf allegedly changed his online user name in order to contact her after she blocked him on her computer. As Ohlendorf allegedly continued to stalk the girl in cyberspace, detectives said he also dropped a CD off at her residence. Last month, sheriff's Detective Todd Heller interviewed Ohlendorf, who allegedly admitted he continued to "stalk" the teen despite her repeated requests for him to stop. Heller obtained a search warrant for Ohlendorf's residence, where he allegedly found a CD containing a video file of an "adolescent female" engaged in various sexual activities, according to court records. Ohlendorf faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted on the four felony charges.
