Key Points:
- Vanessa Gallegos of Delray Beach avoided trial by signing a 12-month Pretrial Intervention Agreement in Palm Beach County, which will lead to dropping two felony charges if completed successfully.
- She faced charges related to fraudulent use of a credit card and personal identification, stemming from a years-long harassment campaign against her ex-boyfriend and his wife.
- The harassment included mailing an anonymous in-home HIV test, fake adoption agency inquiries, fake baby registries, unauthorized florist orders charged to her ex’s credit card, and fake dating profiles using her photos.
- Conditions of her agreement include no new law violations, monthly payments toward supervision and prosecution costs, no firearms, no contact with victims, and mandatory virtual therapy and pastoral counseling.
- Gallegos was arrested in June 2025 following a police investigation that uncovered the extensive harassment, which began after her ex-boyfriend started dating his now-wife; a ten-year stalking injunction was granted against her in March 2024.
