A Utah County woman was sentenced to 12 months in prison for cyberstalking two men she met through online dating platforms, according to a September 1 statement from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Utah.
Kailin Wang, 43, of Spanish Fork, Utah, received the sentence from U.S. District Court Judge Ted Stewart. The sentencing follows Wang's guilty plea on September 30, 2025, to two counts of cyberstalking.
Court documents and statements from hearings indicate that Wang connected with the two victims on separate online dating sites in 2017 and 2018. After becoming obsessed with each individual, she used fake names, social media accounts, multiple phone numbers, and various accounts to harass and publicly disparage them. Her actions included tagging the victims' employers, family members, and friends.
Wang also admitted to filing three separate reports with the federal Internet Crimes Complaint Center (ICCC). In those reports, she falsely claimed the victims were harassing and impersonating her online. Wang admitted she filed these complaints to prompt law enforcement to investigate the victims as a means of harassment and intimidation. She falsely reported that the two men were working together, despite a lack of evidence showing they had any relationship.
The FBI Salt Lake City Field Office investigated the case with assistance from the San Francisco Police Department. United States Attorney Melissa Holyoak announced the sentencing.
Wang's history includes a prior conviction for a pattern of stalking behavior in New York in 2013. In addition to her prison term, Wang was sentenced to three years of supervised release, which includes conditions intended to protect the victims and their families.
