7-2-15 man from netherlands convicted of stalking fdl girl

A man from the Netherlands has been convicted of stalking a Fond du Lac High School student.  As part of a plea agreement Hendrickus Descendre pleaded no contest to one count of stalking.  A second count of stalking and two counts of identity theft to harm a person’s reputation were dismissed and read into the record.  He was credited for time served in jail and will be deported.   According to a criminal complaint the stalking began when the victim ended an online dating relationship with Descendre last October.    Police say Descendre flew from the Netherlands to Fond du Lac were he took pictures of the victim’s high school, a house and park in her neighborhood  and posted them on his Facebook page.  Police say Descendre also used the victim’s name and pictures to create a website, making it appear as though she was looking forward to meeting him.  Assistant Police chief Steve Klein says it’s a scary reminder about the potential dangers of  developing an online relationship with a person you don’t know.
