4/13/13 - A man police say posted nude images of his ex-girlfriend on the internet last April and stalked her online for more than 18 months has entered a plea in the case. 44-year-old Edward John Abdella of Rochester Hills was charged with unlawful posting of a message, aggravated stalking, two counts of using a computer to commit a crime, and being a 3rd time habitual offender. He pleaded no contest on Tuesday to the unlawful posting charge and an added charge of misdemeanor stalking. A no contest plea is not an admission of guilt, but is treated as such for sentencing purposes. In return, the prosecution has dismissed the other charges and agreed to recommend that he get no jail time, not be put on a tether, and receive a maximum of three years of probation. The court accepted his plea and scheduled his sentencing for May 16th. (JK)
