Lewes man charged with stalking, sexual harassment
A Lewes man faces felony stalking and sexual harassment charges after police say he contacted a woman more than 40 times in December.
Police said the woman told police an acquaintance, Daniel Wilkowski, 39, had sent her over 40 emails in a week that were unsolicited and sexual in nature, which caused her alarm.
Police obtained a warrant for Wilkowski’s arrest and made several attempts to locate him. Wilkowski was located Jan. 4 by the Milton Police Department during an unrelated investigation and taken into custody. Wilkowski was charged with felony stalking and sexual harassment, arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 3, and committed to Sussex Correctional Institution in default of $1,100 secured bond.
