An Arizona woman is accused of mounting a relentless harassment campaign against her former friend – including sending a nude photo of the ex-pal to a member of the victim’s homeowner’s association after the two had a falling out, according to court documents.
Phoenix woman Christina Lynn Holt, 47, allegedly called the victim 150 times and sent more than 120 text messages with various spoof numbers dating back to November – and admitted to police last week she was “waiting for a restraining order” before she stopped, court papers obtained by Fox 10 revealed.
The friendship between the two women ended in October at the request of the victim after Holt allegedly “crossed a boundary,” the victim reportedly said.
The breakup left Holt “angry” and “hurt” and sparked her alleged cyber-bullying of the victim through electronic communications, the court docs stated.
“The victim received a nude image of herself from an unknown individual/sender, which she did not consent to share,” the court documents stated, per the station.
“This nude image, along with other images of victim (clothed), were also distributed to her community Homeowners’ Association (HOA) board member, causing victim significant distress.”
Holt, with the fake numbers, allegedly threatened to share the pics with other people, including her ex-pal’s coworkers.
The former friend’s mother also received a call that had a male voice on the other line claiming to be an officer with the Pima County Sheriff’s Office on Dec. 2, but no one from the department ever made the call, the court docs claimed.
Authorities eventually tracked down the calls and messages to Holt and she was arrested on March 6, according to Fox 10.
“[Holt] said all she wanted was an explanation/reason for why victim ended their friendship,” according to the court documents. “[She] then concocted the plan to utilize many VOIP numbers, so many numbers that defendant had no idea how many messages/calls she placed to victim.”
When investigators asked when Holt planned to stop the alleged mountain of messages and calls, she reportedly replied, “I was waiting for a restraining order.”
The 47-year-old is facing charges of unlawful disclosure of images depicting states of nudity, impersonating a peace officer, stalking and using electronic communication to terrify, intimidate, threaten or harass, the outlet reported.
A $25,000 bond was issued by a judge and a hearing is set for March 17.
