SUMMARY OF INCIDENT:

 

On 01/23/2022 at approximately 2021 hours, the Vermont State Police received a report that Kyle L. Wilson (27) of Biddeford, Maine, was posting sexually explicit images of the Victim on various social media platforms.

 

Upon investigation, Troopers discovered after the Victim ended their relationship with Wilson, Wilson keyed the Victim's vehicle and caused damage having no right to do so. Wilson subsequently stole the Victim's cell phone and fled the State of Vermont.

 

Using the Victim's cell phone, Wilson posted several sexually explicit images of the Victim on various social media platforms with lewd captions. Wilson continued to make several social media posts about the Victim, causing severe emotional distress. These posts, along with several text messages, disturbed the peace and harassed the Victim. Many of the social media posts also targeted the Victim's sexual identity.

 

While in possession of the Victim's stolen cell phone, Wilson spent over $300 of the Victim's money through the platform called Venmo. Further investigation revealed Wilson is a felon in possession of a firearm.

 

Wilson was subsequently located in Biddeford, Maine. Officers with the Biddeford Police Department issued a citation to Wilson on behalf of the Vermont State Police for Addison County Superior Court, Criminal Division at a later date.
