Hey everyone, it's me, Javier.

You know, I came down with a really nasty bug this week.

It knocked me out for several days and completely threw my schedule off. So I'm not

going to have the next series ready for you this week. But the podcast gods have come through

like they always do. And we have some breaking news in the stalker case. Rick Fernandez just

took a guilty plea this week for harassment.

That's right. Harassment based off of the new activity that we discussed in our previous

stalker episodes. For those of you who may not recall, Rick Fernandez was writing a book about the doctor and her husband, even

docks them and published their real names and some really sensitive information to this book,

while he was awaiting trial for the three felonies that he had against him. Now, a notable

mention here is that Tanya Fernandez was not

charged with any additional charges. So that's why we are only talking about Rick today. So what does

this mean? Rick admitted guilt instead of going to trial, right? So by pleading guilty,

he accepted responsibility for the harassment

charges. Now remember, these are for the new harassment charges concerning the book and all that

stuff that happened while they were awaiting trial. This does not mean that he pled guilty to the

original felony charges, which were sending the fake messages, the IP address,

all that stuff from the original series of the stalker. We still don't know who really was the

stalker. Was it Tanya? Was it Rick? Was it one of the kids? We still don't know. And this doesn't

answer that. But we know that this week,

Rick took responsibility for this new wave of harassment. And so what were the consequences for that?
