Journal-Gazette profiles the typical predator who is know different than a stalker.
In March, the woman noticed that the e-mail address of a male friend in the military had been changed by one character. The friend’s e-mail address could be traced to a location overseas, where he was stationed, but the new, slightly altered e-mail address was traced to Kendallville, the affidavit said.
A police investigation found that the second e-mail address was created from a computer at the Kendallville Police Department and that the account was accessed multiple times between April 3 and May 16 during times Pegan was working, the affidavit said.
The investigation also turned up an invoice sent to Pegan’s work e-mail address from Real Tech Spyware for computer-monitoring software, which allows the user to monitor the activity on another computer. The software Pegan bought was used to monitor a computer named “Christie,” the name of the computer used by Pegan’s ex-girlfriend, the affidavit said.
In interviews with police, Pegan admitted to accessing his ex-girlfriend’s e-mail account and even deleting or blocking some e-mail addresses, the affidavit said. He added other e-mail addresses to her account, such as the slightly altered e-mail address of her overseas friend, and continued corresponding with her under this assumed identity.
He got the woman to install the monitoring software on her computer by sending it from the e-mail address similar to her friend’s as an attachment labeled “for our soldiers.exe,” the affidavit said.

The article stated this was a police officer. Who wouldn't have suspected a police? That is why you question question question, because the one's who are supposed to be above the law are often involved in circumventing the law. Why? because they know how the system works.
