Santa Monica Man Jailed Without Bond on Federal Doxxing Charge Targeting ICE Attorney

Prosecutors say he urged a swatting after posting a federal lawyer’s home address online.

Overview

  • Gregory John Curcio, 68, was arrested Sept. 22 and appeared in federal court in Los Angeles on Sept. 23.
  • A magistrate judge ordered him detained without bond, with arraignment scheduled for Oct. 14.
  • The complaint alleges that in February 2025 he identified the victim as an ICE agent on Facebook, published her home address, and urged others to swat her.
  • Authorities say he reposted the address on another account and had waged a broader harassment campaign against the attorney’s family since at least January 2024.
  • He is charged under a statute barring public disclosure of restricted personal data of covered persons; ICE’s Office of Professional Responsibility is investigating, the case is being prosecuted by AUSA Lauren E. Restrepo, and the maximum penalty is five years if convicted.
