The false reports against his ex led to her being arrested and spending nearly three months in jail.
According to court documents, from June to July 2016, the couple made several false reports to local police that Angela was sexually assaulted because of ads on Craigslist that they claimed Hadley had posted.
According to the indictment, Ian Diaz convinced local police in Anaheim, California, that his ex-fiance was a threat and told them that in his work as a US Marshal, he investigated threats made to federal judges and prosecutors and had “never seen anything like this.” “Ian Diaz abused his position as a deputy U.S. Marshal to execute an intricate cyberstalking scheme that framed an innocent person for sexual assault, leading to her unjust imprisonment for 88 days,” Kenneth A. Polite, Jr., assistant attorney general, said in a statement.
Hadley was arrested in June 2016, and her bail was set at $1 million. Unable to pay bail, she spent 88 days in jail until investigators realized she had been falsely accused. The Orange County district attorney's office dropped charges against her on Jan. 9, 2017, the same day Angela Diaz was charged. She pleaded guilty and was sentenced to five years in prison; she and Ian Diaz have since divorced.
Hadley filed a federal civil suit against the couple in 2018, also naming the city of Anaheim and members of the police department, accusing them of false imprisonment, false arrest, civil rights violations, assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, defamation, negligence and malicious prosecution. The lawsuit was settled in April 2021.about her fight for justice against her ex and the police officers who immediately believed his false accusations.
