A Neptune Township man accused of stalking and harassing a pair of mother and daughters, and stealing a bra and bikini from one of their homes, was ordered by a judge Tuesday to remain in jail, officials said.

The decision came nearly four months after Wayde M. Delhagen, 25, of Neptune Township, was arrested and charged with burglary, theft by unlawful taking, criminal mischief, stalking and cyber-harassment, according to a statement from the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office.

The investigation began on June 15 when the Neptune Township Police got a 911 call at 3 a.m. on June 15 from an 18-year-old woman and her mother who reported that someone broke into the daughter’s room at their Wayside Road home while they were asleep in a different part of the house, prosecutors said.

The daughter told police she had been having trouble with a man she’d met on social media and who began harassing her after she did not want to meet up with him. She’d stopped communicating with him at this point, authorities said.

A month earlier, the man used a different social media platform to contact the daughter and told her he was coming to her house and asked if her mother was home, according to the statement. He also sent her “disturbing images” including a Google Maps image of her home and then sent a “harassing message” to her mother and he was rejected once again.

The same night, the mother and daughter called 911. Police searched the neighborhood and found Delhagen in front of a home with the daughter’s bikini and bra which he swiped from a laundry basket under the girl’s bedroom window, police said.

He was initially charged burglary, theft and criminal mischief and released on a summons, but once investigators heard the daughter and mother’s stories about their disturbing contact with him on social media, he was arrested again, charged with stalking and cyber harassment and taken to Monmouth County Jail, officials said.

Delhagen was also facing two charges of cyber harassment out of Neptune City for “repeatedly” sending “threatening messages and sexually explicit materials” to another mother and daughter using social media and his cellphone, prosecutors said.

The messages even included references to the murder 19-year-old Neptune City resident Sarah Stern, police said.

Authorities did not say when the messages and images were allegedly sent to the Neptune City victims.

Investigators asked anybody else who may have been contacted by Delhagen on social media or anyone with information about his case to call Neptune City Police Detective James Van Etten at 732-455-0117, or Neptune Township Police Detective Erick Amadruto at 732-988-8000 ext. 419.
