He posted their sex video
A woman discovered her boyfriend had recorded them having sex in their residence at 9 Barrow St. and had uploaded it to the Internet. The woman, 29, told police on Sept. 4 that she learned about the video and immediately decided to ditch her 30-year-old beau and move out. Later, she confronted him via e-mail, asking why he provided the video to an amateur porn site. Police say the man admitted via e-mail to his actions. Five days later, police arrested Carlo Dellaverson and charged him with unlawful surveillance, a felony.
Yoga teacher stalked
At about 5:30 a.m. on Mon., Sept. 15, a female yoga teacher exited the subway at W. 14th St. and Sixth Ave., bought coffee and headed toward her yoga studio at 434 Sixth Ave. On her way, at 10th St. and Sixth Ave., a man motioned to her to come over.
“Hey you! Come over here,” he said, according to a police report.
The woman sped up her pace and hurried all the way into the second-floor studio. But the man was not far behind as she heard him walking up the stairs before he began banging on the locked studio door for about 20 minutes.
“Let me in! I want to take yoga classes,” he said, according to police.
She called the cops, saying she was afraid and that the man was not a yoga student of hers. Upon arrival in the building, police saw Shannon Gibbons, walking down the stairs and arrested him for stalking, a misdemeanor.
