FRESNO, Calif. — A Fresno man faces federal charges after he was arrested last week by the FBI on allegations that for months he harassed a dad whose daughter was slain in the 2018 mass shooting at a Parkland, Florida, high school.
According to a federal complaint in a Florida court first reported by the Daily Beast, James Catalano, 61, is charged with one count of cyberstalking for sending more than 200 messages between Dec. 1, 2021, and July 20 of this year to Fred Guttenberg. Guttenberg is a gun control advocate whose 14-year-old daughter Jaime was one of 17 people shot to death at Marjory Stoneman High School in Parkland.
James Catalano was in the Fresno County Jail Friday night on a federal marshal hold.
