Kris Jenner's Alleged Cyberstalker Court Date Set for September

CALABASAS, CA — A Bay Area nurse's assistant accused of cyberstalking reality TV star Kris Jenner is expected to face a Los Angles judge next month.

Federal authorities arrested 36-year-old Christina Elizabeth Bankston at her Newark home on Thursday. She's charged with stalking and electronically harassing the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star and her family for six months in 2014.

Bankston appeared briefly Friday in federal court in Oakland and was being held in lieu of $20,000 bail. She was ordered to appear in a downtown Los Angeles courtroom on Sept. 8 in connection with a 15-count indictment that was unsealed Thursday.

Prosecutors allege Bankston hacked into Jenner's iCloud account, accessed her email and phone numbers and impersonated the star through calls and texts, telling some she was sick with cancer.

She is also accused of calling police to say a Kardashian family member was attempting to commit suicide.

Bankston is alleged to have sent more than 500 text messages, chat and email messages — many of them laced with profanity — under fake names to Jenner and members of the Kardashian family matriarch's inner circle.

Ex-spouse Caitlyn Jenner was also the target of the cyberstalking, according to the indictment.
