A 39-year-old convicted felon who dated a District of Columbia Superior Court magistrate judge is charged with stalking the judge and breaking into her Washington home.

D.C. police say after Taylar Nuevelle and Magistrate Judge Janet Albert ended their year-long relationship in early September 2008, Nuevelle sent harassing text messages and e-mails to the judge for several weeks. Nuevelle implied she wanted to use private information to destroy Albert’s reputation, according to a police affidavit.
