A federal jury found a woman guilty of two counts of cyberstalking for mailing harassing letters about a Shelby County assistant district attorney (ADA). U.S. Attorney D. Michael Dunavant of the Western District of Tennessee announced the verdict today. Adrienne Rosse of Arlington, Tennessee, was found guilty following a three-day trial, with evidence showing she mailed anonymous, harassing letters in 2023 falsely accusing the prosecutor of having a secret pornography career and including explicit images of women resembling the attorney. Prosecutors said Rosse acted out of anger over the continued prosecution of her husband, whose rape and sexual battery case ended in a mistrial and remains pending. The harassment campaign prompted the assistant district attorney to leave her position and relocate, though she has continued her legal career. Rosse faces up to five years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000 and up to three years of supervised release at sentencing scheduled for Aug. 5 before U.S. District Judge Mark S. Norris.
