The former editor of the New York Observer and friend of Jared Kushner's pleaded guilty to spying on his ex-wife's computer and social media activity.
by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office. He admitted to hacking his then-wife’s computer in 2015, monitoring her email and social media activity through a service called WebWatcher. Kurson also targeted a friend of his former spouse who worked with her at a summer camp, according to court documents.Manhattan prosecutors took up the case after Trump issued a federal pardon to Kurson, one of several that the president gave to people with personal ties to him before he left office.
“We will not accept presidential pardons as get-out-of-jail-free cards for the well-connected in New York,” then-Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. said last year in announcing Kurson’s case. In November 2015, Kurson’s former spouse told police in South Orange, N.J., that he was “terrorizing her through email and social media causing her problems at work and in her social life,” according to an account in Kurson’s criminal court complaint.It is unclear from court papers what, if any, overlap in alleged conduct exists between the state case and the dismissed federal prosecution. Kurson left the Lower Manhattan courthouse Wednesday with his attorney Marc Mukasey.
