ZEBULON - Investigators travelled to Young Harris, Georgia in reference to a stalking case involving two victims that reside in Pike County. The victims had received numerous phone calls and explicit text messages from an unknown person over an extended period of time.

The offender Matthew Corr, 30 years of age, had used various texting apps to disguise the origination of the phone calls and text messages.

Corr appeared to have knowledge of the victims daily routines and would make comments about “seeing them soon.” Concerned for their safety, a report was filed with law enforcement to identify the individual responsible. Corr was identified after numerous subpoenas were served on the texting apps companies.

Corr was also identified as an IT employee for Young Harris College. Upon being interviewed by investigators he confessed to obtaining information on people he wanted to contact through the computers at his place of employment.

He also admitted to sending numerous messages, not only to the victims from Pike County but to several others in the Young Harris area. He was brought back to Pike County and faces two counts of stalking. There is additional charges being filed for stalking offenses at Young Harris.

He remains in jail with a $11,000 bond.
