A federal grand jury has indicted Simon Andrew Tuck, a 44-year-old resident of Findlay, Ohio, on charges including stalking, making false reports, and issuing threatening communications, according to a statement released Mar. 9.

The indictment alleges that Tuck harassed and intimidated two men and their families over a four-month period from November 2025 through February 2026. The alleged conduct included submitting false reports to law enforcement agencies, a sexual assault hotline, and the employer of one of the victims. Authorities say these actions caused significant emotional distress to the victims and their families.

The FBI Toledo Resident Agency is conducting the investigation into the case. Assistant United States Attorney Tracey Ballard Tangeman for the Northern District of Ohio is leading the prosecution.

If convicted on all counts, Tuck could face up to five years in federal prison for each charge. Sentencing will be determined by the court after considering factors such as any prior criminal record, Tuck’s role in the offenses, and other relevant circumstances.

Officials emphasized that an indictment is only a charge and does not constitute evidence of guilt. “Defendants are entitled to a fair trial in which it will be the government’s burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt,” according to the statement.
