A 22-year-old El Paso man was arrested Tuesday for allegedly harassing a woman by posting her telephone number on a dating website, police officials said. Police investigators and FBI agents on the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force arrested Alejandro Mata at his home in the 700 block of Espolon Drive on the West Side. In September and October, Mata allegedly posted the woman's information and phone number on the "women seeking men" and "casual encounters" section of Craigslist, a classified ads website, police said. The posting was allegedly intended to annoy, embarrass and harass the woman and caused her phone to keep ringing. Mata was charged with felony online impersonation and misdemeanor harassment. He was jailed in lieu of a $71,000 bond.
