Star Trek star makes cyberstalking history

The Prime Detective

In 2001, Jeri Ryan — then rising to fame as Seven of Nine on Star Trek: Voyager — became the center of one of America’s first cyberstalking convictions. What began as hundreds of explicit and bizarre messages turned into a historic case that tested California’s brand-new cyberstalking laws. This episode of The Prime Detective traces how Ryan endured her own “Year of Hell,” and how fiction once again bled into the real world.
