A University of Georgia School of Public and International Affairs student was arrested Friday on charges of cyberstalking and extortion. Gary Leach, a graduate student, was charged with one count of cyberstalking and one count of extortion and appeared in the federal court of the Middle District of Georgia Friday afternoon after he allegedly cyberstalked and extorted a Massachusetts woman for sexually explicit videos, photos and communications for more than a year and a half.
