NEW YORK — Ken Kurson, the former editor-in-chief of the New York Observer and close pal of Jared Kushner, quietly pleaded guilty on Wednesday to the same cyberstalking conduct that former President Donald Trump pardoned him of during his last hours in office.
Kurson, 53, appeared in Manhattan Supreme Court about 9 a.m. to cop to attempted computer trespass and attempted eavesdropping, downgraded state misdemeanor charges. The charges stem from a felony indictment alleging he harassed and spied on his wife when they divorced between September and November in 2015.
If Kurson leads a law-abiding life for one year, Manhattan Judge Josh Hanshaft said he would vacate the misdemeanors, leaving him with a violation of harassment, which is not a criminal record.
