Federal officials indicted a former Baltimore city prosecutor for using his office to arrange for subpoenas and to get confidential information on five former lovers to stalk and harass them, the Baltimore Sun reports.

Prosecutors allege former Baltimore City homicide prosecutor Adam Lane Chaudry, 43, used false pretenses and lies to convince fellow investigators grand juries working on different cases to issue more than 60 subpoenas allowing Chaudry to get communications and credit card records for five unnamed women with whom Chaudry had been romantically involved.

Chaudry used the information in sustained harassment campaigns against the women.  For one victim, Chaudry reportedly kept a spreadsheet listing her family, friends and associates, tracking with whom she talked or texted, where she used her credit cards and even when she went to doctors’ appointments, including her OB/GYN.  He also obtained 33 subpoenas over a little more than two years to repeatedly obtain her phone records.  He also requested an investigator in the Baltimore state’s attorney’s office to pull her driving record and to surveil her on several occasions under the guise of a non-existent state probe.

Maryland state prosecutors have charged Chaudry, a prosecutor for 13 years who resigned in June 2021, with 88 separate counts including abuse of office, stalking and extortion.  The federal charges focus on his abuse of the judicial system to falsely obtain search warrants and subpoenas to obtain personal communications records from telecommunications companies.
