'Vampyre' pleads guilty to harassing teen
A man who calls himself "The Impaler" and ran for governor under what he called the Vampyres, Witches and Pagans ticket has pleaded guilty to harassment through e-mail charges. John Albert Sharkey faced harassment and coercion charges for allegedly sending harassing e-mails to a Rochester teenager in 2007. After pleading guilty Monday, Sharkey was sentenced to 90 days in prison. In August 2007, a 15-year-old girl told police she sent an e-mail message of political support to Sharkey's MySpace page and that they began dating online. She told police she tried to end it within two weeks, but the 44-year-old wouldn't leave her alone. Sharkey's attorney has said the e-mails were mutual. However, some e-mails in police reports threaten the girl's family and friends with harm, including decapitation. Sharkey ran for governor in 2006. |
