Maine Man Sentenced to 18 Months for Harassing and Threatening Woman and Her Family Members

BANGOR, Maine: A Maine man was sentenced today in U.S. District Court in Bangor for making repeated phone calls with the intent to harass and transmitting a threatening interstate communication.

U.S. District Judge John A. Woodcock, Jr. sentenced Angelo Castigliola, 44, formerly of Biddeford, to 18 months in prison to be followed by 3 years of supervised release. For the first year of his supervised release, he will be subject to stand-alone monitoring. He was also ordered to pay the victim restitution. Castigliola pleaded guilty on August 26, 2024.

According to court records, from mid-July to early August 2023, Castigliola repeatedly called and texted the victim, including calling 57 times and leaving nine voicemails. He also sent the victim 40 text messages on one day alone. These repeated communications were harassing in nature. In the communications, Castigliola repeatedly threatened to harm an unidentified police officer with whom he believed the victim had a relationship, and repeatedly referenced the victim's minor child. On July 28, 2023, Castigliola also made several telephone calls to the victim's mother, often disguising his phone number, leaving two voicemails. In one voicemail, Castigliola threatened to kill three of her family members including the victim, and to rape two minor children. The U.S. Attorney's Office is limiting identifying information to protect the victims' privacy.

The FBI investigated the case.
