A Batavia woman and her two daughters might be sleeping a little more soundly following the arrest of a 51-year-old Naperville man charged with their harassment.
Joseph A. Donato of Naperville faces charges of aggravated stalking, stalking and violations of an order of protection and a no-contact order, according to a report in the Daily Herald. Aggravated stalking and stalking are felonies.
Batavia police said Donato and the Batavia woman were dating for more than a year but had broken up sometime in 2012. The order of protection for the woman and her twin 11-year-old daughters was dated Dec. 12, the Daily Herald said.
Court records indicate Donato sent text messages, left notes on her door and car and confronted her in a North Aurora parking lot.
Donato was arrested Saturday, March 23, and will need to post $10,000 of his $100,000 bond to be released from the Kane County Jail.
