In 2021, Jeffrey Rodriguez of New York City was arrested and charged with cyberstalking and threatening interstate communications after sending hundreds of vile messages to numerous Fox News hosts.
He was granted a pass under the condition that he was attached to several guidelines. Nonetheless, after breaking them, his prosecution was deferred yet again.
According to the New York Post, when Rodriguez appeared in court for the first time in May, Manhattan federal prosecutors wrote a deferred prosecution yet made him swear to follow a list of conditions for the next year, including a ban on social media posts regarding anyone at Fox News, and mandatory mental health treatment.

Magistrate Judge Barbara Moses attempted to commence with the prosecution. Nonetheless, she was overruled by the US Attorney's Office, who decided to let Rodriguez's actions slide yet again.
"You've been lucky thus far," Moses explained to Rodriguez, continuing that he "will not get another chance."

Before his federal charges, Rodriguez was arrested in January 2021 and later charged in state court with stalking and harassment for threats he made against the first unnamed broadcaster. It's unclear how that case was resolved. His state case is sealed, a spokesperson for the Manhattan District Attorney's office said.
Despite the brush with the law, Rodriguez "drastically" raised his threats against the two different news personalities in the months after, according to the federal charges against him.
