Anthony Sansone Jr., 72, faces misdemeanor charges of stalking and defiant trespass after University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown police arrested him Monday on campus, alleging he violated a no-trespass order connected to a former patient, according to WJAC-TV.
The University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown Police Department reported that Sansone was accused of repeatedly stalking a former patient and trespassing on campus property, according to WJAC. He was charged with misdemeanor stalking and misdemeanor defiant trespass following the arrest, as reported by WTAJ.
Police say Sansone admitted to visiting the UPJ campus approximately two to three times per week, even though he was already subject to a no-trespass order barring him from the property, as noted by WJAC-TV. Officers separately alleged that he had been making those repeated visits despite the standing ban, the outlet reported.
Relationship Soured in Late 2025
According to an affidavit cited in the report, Sansone and his former patient ended their relationship in late 2025 on bad terms, and the alleged stalking is said to have begun around that same time, WJAC-TV reported at WJAC-TV. The affidavit does not specify further details of what happened between the two before the alleged campus visits started.
Support available to students
Pitt-Johnstown says its Office of Health and Counseling Services offers specialized counseling for students who have experienced stalking or harassment, according to the university's sexual assault services page. The page does not indicate that the resource was used in the Sansone case or provide additional details here about reporting or protective-order procedures.
The male victim described Sansone's alleged actions as intellectually menacing, according to the report, and said the conduct caused him severe emotional distress, per a report from WJAC-TV. Those characterizations come directly from the victim's own account as relayed in the case.
Booked at Cambria County Prison
Following his arrest on campus grounds Monday, Sansone was jailed at Cambria County Prison. He has since posted bail, per the same report from the Johnstown, Pennsylvania-based station.
The case is documented in online court records, though further details such as a hearing date or case disposition were not included in the available reporting. WJAC's account, reported by Ryan Graffius, remains the primary source of information on the case as it moves through the legal process.
