Digital Stalking: Florida Man Accused of Tracking Ex’s Every Move with Apple AirTags

A Florida man faces charges for allegedly stalking his ex-girlfriend by using Apple AirTags to track her movements.

Stalking is no laughing matter. I know. It happened to me before I moved to Cape Coral. One night, after leaving the radio station, a girl followed me home, which was weird enough. But later on, she broke into my house at 2 am. I caught her red-handed in my bathroom, holding my toothbrush and my flip-flop sandals. That's when she looked me dead in the eyes and said, "You are a Viking." Needless to say, I was horrified. But that is nothing compared to what this guy put his ex-girlfriend through.

According to WFLA, a man from Florida, Roberto Janero-Quian, was arrested for stalking after allegedly tracking his former girlfriend using  some Apple AirTags. Now, this whole ordeal started when his girlfriend broke up with him back in October. But then things started to get a little crazy in January when he began harassing and stalking her.

Janero-Quian's tactics were unsettling. He would make it a routine to pass by her home every single day. On top of that, he went as far as writing letters and taping them to her car's windshield, not just once, but multiple times. What's more alarming is that the victim discovered Apple AirTags in her vehicle on at least two occasions.

Despite the woman blocking Roberto's phone number, he persisted in contacting her using different, unknown numbers. His voicemails were anything but pleasant, filled with threats aimed at coercing her into returning his calls, with menacing undertones.

As a result of his actions, Janero-Quian found himself arrested on Thursday. Now, he's facing serious charges like stalking and installing those Apple AirTags. Currently, he's behind bars where he can't bother his ex-girlfriend.
