A 30-year-old man has been charged with felony stalking after engaging in what police describe as “a yearlong pattern of disturbing and intrusive behavior” on the queer dating app Grindr.

Matthew Huebschman of Appleton, Wisconsin, reportedly sent multiple unknown men to a victim’s home by posing as the victim on the app and instructing men to visit his residence and enter when they arrived.

“Over the course of more than a year, numerous men arrived at the victim’s residence under these false pretenses,” said the Appleton Police Department in a statement.

“This sustained harassment created a persistent sense of fear and distress for the victim and their household.”

Police also said Huebschman was arrested after being caught watching the men arrive at the house from a spot nearby.

Huebschman was arrested in October and pleaded not guilty on Monday.
