Thread: Court bars Herndon man from contacting labor site opponents

A judge ordered a Herndon man to have no contact with activists opposed to the Herndon day labor site after a hearing in Fairfax County General District Court last week.


Rodger Perry was charged in August with "use of a computer for harassment," which is a misdemeanor, according to court records.


He was not found guilty of the crime, according to court records, but the judge issued a deferred disposition, which is similar to probation, typically requiring the defendant to pay court costs and adhere to certain conditions. If the defendant meets those conditions for a certain period of time, a year in Perry's case, the charge will be dropped.

Aubrey Stokes, a member of the group HelpSaveHerndon.com, said the case was the result of a message sent to his group's Web site that he viewed as a threat to himself and other members of HelpSaveHerndon.com; Judicial Watch, which is suing the Town of Herndon over the labor site; and Erin Andersen, an anti-illegal-immigration activist who spoke against the Herndon labor site at several public meetings.

The message called Judicial Watch and Andersen "carpetbaggers" and those who brought them to Herndon "traitors." It concluded with the line "Virginia: Sending Carpetbaggers packing in under six hours or packing carpetbaggers six feet under! Thus Always to Tyrants!!!" according to a copy of the e-mail provided by Stokes.

Stokes said he reported the e-mail to both Herndon and Fairfax County police after it happened. Herndon Police said they did not believe a crime had been broken, Stokes said, but county police filed the charge against Perry.
