Newark Woman Denies Cyberstalking Kardashian Matriarch, Kris Jenner

Christina Bankston, of Newark, is charged with stalking and electronically harassing the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star and her family for six months in 2014.

Bankston, who remains free on a $20,000 bond, was ordered to return to the federal courthouse on Oct. 3 for a status conference before U.S. District Judge George King.

According to a 15-count indictment, 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.
