Eventually, Macchione's threats of violence and desire to hurt Kristen became more overt. He began showing up at Kristen's work and at the college campus where she attended classes. Becoming afraid for her life, she started to alter her appearance, which ultimately did little to hinder Macchione's stalking.

Eventually, patrol officer Mark Conway recovered a backpack belonging to Macchione containing a number of unreleased videos where he angrily rants at Kristen and makes it more than apparent that he was planning to kill her. Conway presented the videos to the state attorney, and this was enough to get Macchione arrested and formerly convicted of cyber-stalking and attempted murder. He was sentenced to four years in prison.

Macchione would only spend two years incarcerated before being released on parole in 2014. Shortly after his release from prison, Macchione was interviewed by WKMG in Orlando, where he claims that Kristen was never in danger from him and that his actions weren't stalking at all, and he blamed his actions on drugs, claiming that he was "typing under the influence." He remained under probation until June 2015. He has never expressed any remorse for his actions and has never admitted that his actions were, in fact, cyber-stalking.
