The Fine Print and Disclaimers: Reader Discretion is Advised

Legal Disclaimer:

All claims herein are alleged and presented in good faith for public safety, under duress, in self-defense, and without malice. This public victim impact statement is shared as a last resort to describe my experiences and the resulting harm caused by Matthew Steven, an individual from Newmarket, Penetanguishene, and Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and Washington, D.C., and his associated network(s), whom he refers to as “friends” but I refer to as ‘they’ or ‘his network’ for clarity and brevity. To avoid confusion due to the commonality of his name, I note that Matthew Steven has blonde/white hair, blue eyes, and works in accounting.

This statement, supported by censored evidence and further details available on my website at a later date, is intended to raise awareness about alleged trafficking, sexual exploitation, cyberstalking, blackmail, sextortion, financial abuse, incitement of severe online and offline abuse perpetrated by Matthew Steven and his network, and other abuses. These allegations are substantiated by specialized tracking and logs, which are available for review by law enforcement and courts. This notice is written to be clear and accessible to all readers while maintaining legal integrity and using the right to free speech.

 

These actions, in their full context and not the partial version used to provoke anonymous abuse against me, align with laws such as 18 U.S.C. § 1591 in the U.S. and similar laws elsewhere in their entirety. For nearly ten years, I have exhausted every effort to resolve this matter privately, seeking to avoid costly legal battles. However, Matthew Steven’s persistent dishonesty regarding my identity and reputation, and his refusal to address these allegations directly with me, law enforcement, or the courts, have blocked my ability to achieve justice and access critical records essential for me and my family to move forward.

Background and Response to False Narratives:

In or about May 2015, I entered what I believed to be a consensual, polyamorous relationship with Matthew Steven, with his knowledge that I was married and with the full consent of my spouse, at Matthew's insistence. After many conversations about my reservations as a woman on the autism spectrum who already struggled with severe anxiety regarding relationships and my polyamorous sexuality (which I hid from most people to prevent public backlash that, logically, should not concern them but occurs regardless), I tried many times to assert boundaries, especially for moving so quickly.

In hindsight, he did not respect these boundaries as much as I would have preferred, though I struggled to verbalize this at the time, not understanding why until later. I never consented to this relationship being “cheating,” nor was that ever the truth, yet these false narratives were shared with third parties he referred to only as “friends” (i.e., his network), along with my private and intimate data, including my location, without my consent, around June 12, 2015. I did not suspect something was potentially suspicious until then, when he consistently referred to me as cheating in a manner that was increasingly resistant to correction.

On July 22, 2015, my business analytics software for my multiple award-winning business, career, and reputation—which would begin to be dismantled by these false narratives in less than a year—detected him cyberstalking me, my business, all my social media accounts, and my personal and professional connections. This terrified me because I had started to suspect sextortion about five weeks earlier, causing me to start saving our transcripts and my efforts to correct this narrative. I had not yet provided this information to him, and his secrecy about his identity left me very unsure of who I had become involved with. 

On August 27, 2015, when I told him how a former friend of mine was attempting to help me navigate this situation, he admitted to this disclosure. By then, it was already too late, and allegedly his network began creating a dossier on me. He told me, “I told him about all the ‘pleasurable’ stuff: how we [***] together. I also told him how much I loved you and how you were married and asked him if I should feel guilty of doing anything (i.e., in his mind, was it cheating?).” However, he knew this was not “cheating” and had been corrected numerous times prior to this, solidifying that this false narrative was resistant to correction.

Impact of Harmful Content

The false private and public narratives, both online and offline, and associated actions have had a devastating impact, not only on me, but my family as well, including a child that was substantially harmed by these actions, with them all being facilitated by Matthew Steven and others he referred to as “friends,” whom I believe acted as proxies to skirt laws and any investigation that law enforcement may have done. These actions include:

• Public comments falsely asserting I “cheated” on my husband, following me around to various user IDs, even when blocked or when accounts were deleted, inciting prolonged smear campaigns and dogpiling targeting my gaming, social, and professional communities, lasting years, from 2016 through 2025.

• Misuse of platform reporting systems to flag my accounts with false claims, such as non-consensual porn, sexual content involving minors, and/or threats, resulting in immediate algorithmic bans of accounts, despite no such content existing, and delayed justice for true victims of these horrific crimes. These actions wasted significant time, money, and resources.

• Ongoing cyberstalking across my gaming, personal, and professional user IDs has hindered my ability to rebuild my career numerous times, exercise free speech, and maintain my livelihood. This harassment, targeting only the IDs he has been able to find, has persisted into 2025, with no similar actions taken against Matthew Steven or his “friends.”

He has been tracked for multiple years, during which he monitored those accounts while hiding his involvement behind VPNs, proxies, and virtual computers to ensure our assessments were correct. These actions severely impacted my art and photography sales, writing income, and multiple business brands, with no effort by Matthew Steven to correct his false claims, suggesting an intent to cause harm rather than pursue truth.

Allegations of Exploitation and Trafficking

Based on my experiences and supporting evidence, I allege that his false narratives were part of a broader scheme within a proxy network he only ever referred to as “friends,” involving cyberstalking, coercion, coercive control, blackmail, sextortion, intimidation, and exploitation aimed at psychologically torturing me to prevent reporting and cooperation with law enforcement until the statute of limitations lapsed.

I believe the intent was to harm through far-reaching, multi-jurisdictional, international, and inescapable private and public smear campaigns, both online and offline, to maintain control and keep me isolated, according to information from numerous professionals and experts I relied on for understanding. I believe anyone truly remorseful would try to correct the narrative, but he has chosen not to and has attempted to sabotage my income again over the last two years, using the pattern from years prior.

I further allege his conduct aligns with exploitation and trafficking under frameworks like the Action-Means-Purpose framework, as it involved luring me to meet him across international borders, even when I said I did not want to, under false pretenses of a genuine rekindled dynamic. Additionally, blackmail and sextortion from his “friends” were used to coerce me into repeating his false narratives and to gain additional compromising materials to further the false narrative, which were employed to maintain control and keep me in the exploitative dynamic through the present day.

These allegations are supported by verifiable evidence, which law enforcement can access, though not all is shown to protect my safety and privacy. The situation escalated after another long-term smear campaign and a credible threat (e.g., “the truth saves lives”) from these “friends” in 2021, followed five days later by the violent homicide of a child in my family.

This tragedy, his silence, and the ongoing intimidation targeting user IDs they believed to be mine underscored the urgency of seeking justice and safety outside law enforcement’s delays. I have also faced false narratives of federal crimes (e.g., “threatening emails”) from his legal representation, which I believe are intended to silence and intimidate me from cooperating with authorities or pursuing legal remedies.

It’s one thing after another, clearly aimed at intimidation, but the facts remain: I never consented to any of this. I believe their abuse of my identity and records through data-scraping companies will get me or others harmed. Private demands, including asking a law enforcement sergeant to talk to him and issuing a digital cease-and-desist, did not work, so this is my only option left to notify the public of the danger I am in from his network.

Commitment to Truth, Safety, and Legal Compliance

This blog is published under extreme duress, in response to continuous private and public attacks on my character from people who I believe know him and/or have spoken to him in some form, and in accordance with laws protecting victims and survivors who share their stories for public safety and interest, including Ontario’s legal frameworks for responsible communication and anti-SLAPP protections (Courts of Justice Act, s. 137.1).

I deny all allegations of infidelity and federal crimes and reserve all legal rights to defend myself against false narratives and pursue remedies within ethical and legal boundaries until a permanent resolution is achieved and me and my family are made whole; nothing more, nothing less. My goal is to provide clarity, protect my reputation, support other survivors, and raise awareness about “romance fraud,” online harassment, victim intimidation, exploitation, and trafficking, not to cause distress or harm.

This blog serves as a victim impact statement, intended to provide context for my experiences and align with legal protections for such disclosures. For concerns related to this matter, contact blogger. agent365 @passmail. net, though a reply is not guaranteed due to ongoing safety concerns. I encourage readers to form their own conclusions based on the facts presented and to support efforts to combat trafficking, exploitation, and harassment.

Legal Protections Invoked

This blog is published as responsible communication on matters of public interest under American and Canadian law, supported by verifiable evidence. I assert my rights to free expression, self-defense, and victim advocacy, and any legal action against this blog may be subject to dismissal under United States and Ontario’s anti-SLAPP provisions if deemed an attempt to silence public participation. I have taken all reasonable steps to ensure accuracy and responsibility.
