Man accused of stalking Lycoming County woman, posting her intimate images
Williamsport, Pa. — A Scranton man is accused of contacting a woman about 250 times, including posting intimate images of her online and sending one to her employer, according to court documents. John Joseph King, 28, allegedly made the contacts through phone calls, texts, voicemails, emails, canceled Cash App transactions, and social media posts, tags, and messages between November 2025 and August this year, according to Detective David Fizzano of the Lycoming County District Attorney’s Office. King was charged May 28 for violating the protection from abuse order by sending harassing messages, according to court documents. Some of the messages allegedly referenced suicide, according to court documents. “I’m going to kill myself on your birthday,” one read. Another read, “I promise you, [the victim], I won’t be alive much longer.” King allegedly used blocked and unknown phone numbers, and the aliases Daniel Benson, Joel Benton, Itsame, and Mike Smith to reach the woman, according to Fizzano. He also allegedly created social media profiles impersonating the woman and used them to post intimate images of her alongside sexually explicit, degrading captions written as if in her voice, according to court documents. King allegedly put an intimate image on a birthday post
