Dated the day this page was built. The link always leads to this event, even after the stories are regrouped.
Mark Stephen Asea, 36, of Port St. Lucie, was booked into the St. Lucie County Jail Sept. 30 on a felony charge of offense against computer users.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
The police affidavit describes two women who said their private information surfaced in Asea’s TikTok posts, including one who had trusted him to help with a computer problem.
A woman obtained a temporary injunction in July, but a judge dissolved it and dismissed that case Sept. 8.
Asea’s earlier stalking allegations were dropped, but prosecutors later revived the computer-related case in September.
