by Alex Lloyd Gross
Scott Testa. 60, of Lafayette Hill Pa is going to be awaiting his trial date in the Federal Detention Center, after he was arrested for allegedly cyberstalking two people affiliated with Whitpain Township.This stemmed from two code violations for properties he owns in the township. Apparently, in 2024, someone broke into one of the properties and stole items. Testa was not happy with the police response to the alleged break in. He voiced his displeasure on a website but then allegedly went farther.
According to David Metcalf, US Attorney For the Eastern District Of Pennsylvania, Testa allegedly posted on Reddit an AI-altered image depicting one victim wearing a white Ku Klux Klan robe with the name of his current employer in the background, and included false information about the victim, which defendant Testa knew to be false when it was posted. Then, as further alleged, Testa posted the names of this victim’s children and an address of a home which he believed to be the victim’s true home address.
In addition, the indictment alleges that, also in April 2026, Testa posted on Reddit an AI-altered image of a second victim and his family, including his minor children, with their faces exposed so that they could be identified, depicting them all wearing white Ku Klux Klan robes. Each time, along with the photograph, the defendant identified the victim and his family. Testa also posted messages directed at the victim, like “we are watching you,” “we are coming,” and “…This does not get erased; it’s forever. Your career and your family’s future is going to be pockmarked with you cowards. … we are going to run you out of town.”
These messages were posted in April of 2026.. Testa is charged with two counts of cyberstalking.
