A Kingston woman is facing several charges for allegedly harassing her ex and his new girlfriend through online dating websites.

Last May, police charged the accused with two counts of criminal harassment. The woman had just ended a 20-year relationship with her ex-partner, police said, who then began dating someone else.

Police say the accused had been repeatedly harassing the new couple through text messages, phone calls and through the creation of fake dating profiles.

On Oct. 7, 2018, after further investigation, police say the accused — despite court-ordered conditions not to do so — continued to post fake dating profiles of her ex’s new girlfriend.
