Sarah Palin's stalker to plead guilty

The son in the Sarah Palin father-and-son stalking duo has filed notice that he intends to plead guilty of making harassing phone calls to Sarah Palin and perhaps the ex-Alaska governor's relatives in August.

“Beginning on or about August 1, 2011, and continuing until at least on or about August 9, 2011, within the District of Alaska and elsewhere, the defendant Shawn Richard Christy, in interstate communications, made and caused the telephone of another repeatedly and continuously to ring, with the intent to harass a person at the called number,” according to court filings.

It’s unclear whether the father, Craig Christy, also intends to plead guilty.

The father and son are accused of making menacing phone calls to Alaska’s former governor, her family lawyers and employees of the law firm. The names of those who received the calls have remained sealed.

Prosecutors claim the recordings of telephone calls Shawn Christy made to Palin's attorney are peppered with profanity and vows to continue the harassment.

The calls began in 2009. Palin, her father and her friend requested restraining orders against Shawn Christy, alleging he threatened them, sent a receipt for a gun purchase, and said he was buying a one-way ticket to Alaska.

The charges stem from phone calls to Palin's lawyer and his associates after restraining orders were issued against the duo. Read More

Todd Palin slams “stalker” McGinniss as having “creepy obsession” with Sarah !!!

Todd Palin released a statement late Wednesday condemning claims author Joe McGinniss makes about former Alaska governor Sarah Palin in his upcoming book, “The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin.”

“This is a man who has been relentlessly stalking my family to the point of moving in right next door to us to harass us and spy on us to satisfy his creepy obsession with my wife,” Todd Palin said via SarahPAC’s Rebecca Mansour. “His book is full of disgusting lies, innuendo, and smears. Even The New York Times called this book ‘dated, petty,’ and that it ‘chases caustic, unsubstantiated gossip.”

In his book, McGinniss claims that Palin used cocaine, had a one night stand with retired NBA player Glen Rice, and engaged in an extramarital affair.

Meanwhile, on Facebook Wednesday night, Sarah Palin condemned President Barack Obama’s “crony capitalism” following his jobs speech, taking specific aim at Jeffrey Immelt. She made no mention of McGinniss’ book.

“President Obama has his sights set on raising $1 billion for his reelection campaign,” she wrote. “Raising that money won’t be easy. But if you can hand out other people’s money to friends, it must get a whole lot easier. This crony capitalism and government waste is at the heart of our economic problems. It will destroy us if we don’t root it out. It’s not just a Democrat problem or a Republican problem. It’s a problem of our permanent political class.”

Father and son in Palin stalking case are arrested in Pennsylvania

ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) — The FBI said Thursday that a Pennsylvania man and his son were arrested on charges of harassing Sarah Palin's family and lawyers.

Craig Christy and his son, Shawn Christy, were placed under arrest at the FBI office in Allentown. The pair were indicted by a federal grand jury in Alaska on Wednesday.

They are accused of harassing members of the former Alaska governor's family as well as her attorneys and employees of the law firm. Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee, is also a possible presidential candidate.

A magistrate in Alaska had previously issued restraining orders against both men.

Karen Christy, Craig Christy's wife and Shawn's mother, said in a telephone interview Thursday the family has been persecuted by the Palins and law enforcement officials for more than two years.

They contend Sarah Palin had a sexting relationship with the teen in 2009.

"All of these things have been happening to my family, and the police and the FBI and the federal agents don't seem to (care) ... about going after Sarah Palin because she's a big political figure," Karen Christy told The Associated Press.

Palin has said she feared Karen and Craig Christy because she says they wrongly believe she had a sexting relationship with the teen two years ago. Recordings of telephone calls made to Palin's attorney by Shawn Christy are peppered with profanity-laced tirades and vows to continue calling nonstop.

Karen Christy said Craig and Shawn were invited to the FBI office for an interview and were taken into custody.

The family, which lives in McAdoo, Pa., does not have an attorney.
