A California man pleaded guilty to a federal criminal charge for doxing an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lawyer.
According to a Friday press release from the United States Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California, Gregory Curcio, 68 years old, shared personal information about an ICE attorney on social media.
The office defined doxing as “publishing private or identifying information about an individual on the internet with malicious intent.”
“In February 2025, Curcio created a Facebook post in which he identified the victim — an ICE attorney — as an ICE agent, posted her home address, and directed others to ‘swat’ her at that address,” the release stated.
“Curcio also posted the victim’s home address on another social media account with instructions to swat her,” it continued.
It noted that “swatting” is a form of harassment that often includes a false emergency call being made that is meant to provoke a “significant” response from law enforcement.
According to previously filed court documents, the victim said Curcio was a former resident at her mother’s apartment building in Santa Monica, California, per the release.
“The victim said she never met Curcio, but that he had harassed and threatened her mother for years and engaged in a campaign to harass the victim and her family beginning from at least January, 2024,” the office stated.
A sentencing hearing is scheduled for August 21st, and Curcio could face up to five years in federal prison.
