Stalking

What unfolded was a bizarre and convoluted “three-part harassment campaign” that was intended to “intimidate” the Steiners and influence their reporting on the company, prosecutors said in a statement.

EBay executives repeatedly sent the couple harassing and threatening messages on Twitter

. The campaign escalated further when the Steiners began to receive “disturbing deliveries” to their home outside of Boston, including a book on surviving the death of a spouse, a bloody pig mask, a fetal pig, a funeral wreath and live insects, prosecutors said. Additionally, Craigslist posts appeared online inviting strangers to experience sexual encounters at the victims’ home.

Baugh, Harville and others also traveled from California to the Steiners’ home to surveil the couple. They hoped to install a GPS tracker on the couples’ vehicle, but the garage was locked, so Harville purchased tools to break in, according to prosecutors.

Five other eBay employees have pleaded guilty to conspiracy in the matter.
