OAKLAND COUNTY, Mich. \u2013 A New Jersey man convicted last month for sending threatening, antisemitic emails to a Bloomfield Township official was sentenced on Tuesday to one year in jail, with 931 days credit for time already served.<\/p>\n

An Oakland County jury found Marc William Aisen, 50, of Hoboken, guilty on May 13 of using a computer to commit a crime \u2014 which carries a maximum sentence of four years and\/or a $5,000 fine \u2014 and unlawful posting of messages, which carries a two-year maximum sentence and\/or a $5,000 fine.<\/p>\n

According to police, the charges against Aisen stem from a series of emails he sent to Bloomfield Township treasurer Michael Schostak and nearly 200 of his associates beginning in July 2023, making baseless child sexual exploitation accusations against a Boston-based Jewish organization.<\/p>\n

When he didn\u2019t get a response from Schostak, he reportedly began emailing other officials, as well as Schostak\u2019s ex-wife, and posting to public message boards accusing him of covering up the alleged abuse. <\/p>\n

Three months later, Aisen emailed more than 100 recipients \u2014including Schostak\u2019s children\u2019s school \u2014 accusing him of covering up the abuse and being affiliated with Hamas, police said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he went to my family and my children through their school, that\u2019s when I went to police,\u201d Schostak told Local 4 in 2023<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Police say it\u2019s not clear why Aisen began contacting Schostak specifically, as he only responded once to ask Aisen to stop.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no real motive there on why he was doing it other than he stated he wanted him removed from office because of these horrible accusations that we know not to be true,\u201d said Community Liaison Officer Nick Soley.<\/p>\n

Aisen was sentenced to serve 365 days in jail for each of the two counts, to be served concurrently. However, with his credits for time served, he is now scheduled for release. <\/p>\n

He was also required to pay court fees and victims rights fees and must avoid all contact with Schostak or his associates.<\/p>\n
