Woman arrested after allegedly sending man 159K messages after first date
The Break-In: In April 2018, while the victim was out of the country, he checked his home security footage and saw Ades in his house. When police arrived, they found her taking a bath in his tub.
The Trial and 2026 Status
During her time in custody, Ades gave a legendary, rambling jailhouse interview where she claimed she was “the person who discovered love” and that her victim was her “soulmate.”
The Verdict: In 2019, Ades was found guilty except insane on charges of stalking and criminal trespassing.
The Sentence: She was sentenced to time served (she had already spent over a year in jail) and 10 years of probation.
Mental Health: A key part of her sentence was a mandatory mental health treatment plan.
In 2026, her case is often used in law and psychology classes as a textbook example of “erotomania”—a delusional belief that another person is in love with you despite clear evidence to the contrary.
