Busted on bias intimidation allegations against NJ man

Before the latest charges, Jaffrey was accepted in January into the pre-trial intervention program that would keep her out of jail for crimes related to bias-intimidation of a Plainsboro man.

In July, however, Jaffrey began using different social media accounts on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn to harass family members of a prosecutor’s office staff, including a spouse and sister, Ciccone said.

In September, Jaffrey threatened to kill the staff member’s spouse, the prosecutor said.
