A Londonderry, New Hampshire man was arrested on Mar. 10 for allegedly cyberstalking a Massachusetts victim using social media, text messages, and various online platforms. Brad Cerullo, 46, faces one count of cyberstalking and appeared in federal court in Boston where he was ordered detained pending a hearing scheduled for March 27.
The case highlights ongoing concerns about the use of technology to harass and intimidate individuals. Authorities allege that Cerullo posted sexually provocative statements about the victim online, including content suggesting the victim wanted to be sexually assaulted. He is also accused of encouraging others on social media to produce and share sexually explicit material involving the victim.
Charging documents state that between March 2021 and May 2025, the victim received around 72 text messages from at least 26 unknown senders—many from Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) numbers. Some texts referenced photos or personal information found on impersonation Twitter accounts. Investigators traced two VoIP numbers back to Cerullo.
Authorities allege that more than 340 images of the victim—including explicit images and videos stolen from a secure device—were used across at least ten accounts as part of an effort to shame or harass her. Four accounts reportedly contained the victim’s name.
If convicted, Cerullo could face up to five years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a $250,000 fine under federal sentencing guidelines. United States Attorney Leah B. Foley announced the charges alongside officials from the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Boston Division and local police departments who assisted with the investigation.
Prosecutors remind that “the details contained in the charging documents are allegations” and “the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.”
