SDNY COURTROOM
EXCLUSIVE, Jan 14 –
Brooklyn-based literary agent
Weronika
Janczuk was
arrested on January 11 for
cyber-stalking.
At 7 pm that
night she was told she would
be a "guest of the government"
overnight, until she can be
fitted with a location
monitoring GPS bracelet.
She slammed the
table and was led into the
holding cell by two U.S.
Marshals. Inner City
Press, the only media in the
public courtroom, published an
article about it an hour
later.
On January
14, Janczuk who is represented
by Federal Defender Sylvie
Jill Levine left a voicemail
making a threat. While Inner
City Press is not
unsympathetic toward this
defendant and others, court
proceedings and public and can
and should be reported.
Janczuk is
from Canada, where currently
accused pedophile Peter Nygard
has his extradition hearings
shielded in secrecy by a
Canadian law prohibiting
publication of anything but
the outcome. Perhaps that is
one of the factors that
allowed Nygard to abuse his
victims for so long. In any
case, it is not the law in the
US, much less in New York.
Inner City
Press is now publishing the
Complaint in US v. Janczuk,
here. We will have more
on this.
The January
11 detention or remand that
Inner City Press reported took
place after a two hour long
proceeding in the U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrates Court.
On January
13 Inner City Press after
being contacted by others in Janczuk's
orbit
belatedly
obtained and
review
the complaint in the case. It
quotes Janczuk's emails to
Victim-1, "a partner who works
for an investment fund located
in New York, New York," and to
his family.
On April 17, 2021
Janczuk wrote to Victim-1,
Subject: Cuntz: You've Made Me
Orgasmic Message: [Victim] I
swear that I will kill you.
She is
subject to an order of
protection in Minnesota,
Dakota County Judge Arlene M.
Perkkio, Dkt 19 HA-CV-20-2141.
She was arrested on June 30,
2021 on Long Island for
violating it.
There
followed a Nassau County
restraining order
CR-009426-21NA, in effect
until June 30, 2022. There's
more - watch this site.
Magistrate Judge Barbara C.
Moses twice summoned Pre-Trial
Services out of the courtroom
to discuss the case off the
record. Pre-Trial Services was
recommending that the
Janczuk be held in detention
pending trial.
Assistant US
Attorney Edward Charles
Robinson described Janczuk as
cyber-stalking a victim he
left unnamed, and the victim's
family members and place of
work, which he described as an
investment firm / law
firm. We can now report
that Victim-1's last name
begins with S.
Only two
days prior to her arrest and
one-night Federal detention,
Janczuk had been tweeting
photos of a Polish restaurant
in Brooklyn. Other of her
accounts have been removed
(for example,
"weronikajanczuk.wordpress.com
is no longer available. The
authors have deleted this
site") but still online is an
article, "Cyber-stalking does
not get you agents and
editors." The allegation did,
however, give rise to this
arrest and detention.
The case is
US v. Janczuk, 21-mj-10885
(Moses).
