Category: Crime · State: California · Source: KCRA News

A Sacramento man is accused of using address information from petitions to pursue a romantic encounter with a woman without her consent, the office of Secretary of State Debra Bowen said. The District Attorney's office has charged petition circulator John Edward James of Sacramento with one count of misusing petition signatures and another charge of perjury for allegedly falsifying the signature collection date on one of his petitions. James was scheduled to be arraigned in Sacramento Superior Court on Friday afternoon. "By all accounts, this is an isolated incident of someone misusing signature information, but voters should know that elections officials vigorously guard their private information," Bowen said in a prepared statement.
