Khayyat sent messages and sexually explicit videos to the psychologist from multiple email addresses – an onslaught that only intensified after the mental health professor received a state court order in 2020 banning Khayyat from contacting her. — AFP

A Charlotte man will spend up to 30 months in prison after bombarding a psychologist with hundreds of graphic emails and text messages threatening to kill or sexually mutilate her.

In his 18-month cyber assault, Amir Khayyat also vowed to kill police and court officials. He sent messages and sexually explicit videos to the psychologist from multiple email addresses – an onslaught that only intensified after the mental health professor received a state court order in 2020 banning Khayyat from contacting her.
