El Paso Man Sentenced to Five Years for Year-Long Stalking Incident

Ivan Alejandro Alvarado, an El Paso resident, has been sentenced to five years in prison after pleading guilty to stalking a woman he met at a gym. The incidents began in November 2024 when Alvarado persistently sought the woman's phone number, despite her initial rejections. Over the next year, he bombarded her with calls and messages, including explicit content, and even left threatening voicemails. The woman felt unsafe and changed gyms to avoid him, but Alvarado continued to pursue her, leading to multiple police reports. His previous conviction for a similar offense in 2019 contributed to the severity of his sentence, as his probation was revoked due to this new charge.

Key Details: • Alvarado was sentenced to five years in prison after pleading guilty. • The stalking incidents began in November 2024 and continued for nearly a year. • The victim reported receiving over 30 calls and numerous messages from Alvarado. • Alvarado had a prior conviction for publishing intimate material, which influenced his sentencing.
