Friends and family say the teen, Maria's classmate at Cranford High, who once pursued Maria romantically, has been harassing, stalking, and threatening Maria for at least three months. Neotis had a protective order against the suspect. Though prosecutors have kept his identity private, traffic tickets reveal his name, Vincent Battoloro.
