Information obtained by Harrisburg100 was “smoking gun” to win case against corrupt PAC

Harrisburg, Pennsylvania — Information provided to the Republican Executive Committeewoman of Miami, Florida that proved to be “smoking gun” evidence linking a professional stalker to a GOP headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, was initially obtained by independent news source Harrisburg100. Angie Wong, alumna of Columbia Graduate School of Journalism, said the information provided was a “home run” in her case against Stan Fitzgerald who was accused of professionally stalking her using a political action committee and a lobbying group.

Investigative journalists at Harrisburg100 discovered an instance of online harassment that originated in Atlanta, Georgia. Through further investigation by Wong and her team it was determined to be a location that Fitzgerald used to conceal his nefarious activity. Following the court ruling, Wong credited Harrisburg100 with backtracking an IP address associated with the Cobb County GOP Headquarters. Wong provided financial disclosures linking Fitzgerald to the location through PAC donations.

Fitzgerald had previously been indicted for selling sports memorabilia with fake signatures, and according to Wong, this latest violent stalker injunction now jeopardizes Fitzgeralds chances of landing a presidential pardon.

The case has drawn national attention to the urgent need for updated legal frameworks in the face of evolving technology. Wong’s legal team, led by Alexander DeFilippo, celebrated the win with symbolic flair—DeFilippo donned his “winning Donald Trump socks” in court, a lighthearted nod to the gravity of the victory.

Angie Wong won a decisive legal victory, securing a permanent Stalking Violence injunction against federal felon Stan Fitzgerald, his aliases, and third-party instigators. The ruling, delivered yesterday in the Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court of Miami-Dade County, Florida, marks a turning point in a harrowing case of online harassment, defamation, and malicious deception.

For years, Fitzgerald orchestrated a campaign of lies against Wong, falsely accusing her of being a foreign agent, he also fabricated an FBI investigation and manufactured fictitious crimes. The court saw through the falsehoods, granting a comprehensive injunction to protect Wong and her family from further harm. The final judgment, documented under case number 202-294-FC-04, was issued following a hearing on March 3, 2025.

Wong, a wife, mother, and Miami Executive Republican Committee representative, continues to advocate for victims of online abuse. Her stalker, Stan Fitzgerald, is a federal felon with a long history of fraud and criminal activity.

“This victory isn’t just personal—it’s a call to action,” said Angie Wong. “The digital age has outpaced our laws, allowing predators like Fitzgerald to exploit loopholes and cause real harm with impunity. If these crimes were committed offline, the perpetrators would already be behind bars. That needs to change.”

In response, Wong is now collaborating with lawmakers to advocate for legislative reforms that address the gaps in current laws surrounding online harassment and exploitation. These efforts aim to ensure that digital crimes carry consequences as severe as their offline counterparts, providing stronger protections for victims and deterring future offenders.
