Ahh, I have a priest stalking me!!

Well, no I do not have a priest stalking me, but someone else does. Having a stalker is never a funny thing. It’s a serious matter which sometimes leads to injuries or death of the person being stalked. To know that you have a stalker is a scary thing. Recently late-night talk show host Conan O’Brien has learned that he indeed has a stalker. His stalker is a Massachusetts native as well as O’Brien’s hometown priest. Reverend David Ajemian, 46 worked at a Stoneham Catholic church and wrote O’Brien three threatening letters on parish letterhead, contacted his parents, and showed up to his studio. He was arrested last week while trying to enter a taping session of
Conan’s “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” at New York’s Rockefeller Plaza.

Ajemian referred to himself as “your priest stalker” in one note. He also complained of not being allowed in to see an earlier taping of the show. The letters and e-mails began in September 2006 and continued after Ajemian was asked to stop.

The priest could face up to a year in prison if convicted on charges of aggravated harassment and stalking. Ajemian is a graduate of Harvard and the John XXIII National Seminary and was ordained in May 2001. The New York Times reports that the priest said in his correspondence that he had followed Mr. O'Brien's career since they both attended Harvard.
