   LOS ANGELES (AP) -- In what prosecutors say is the first case filed
   under a new state "cyberstalking" law, a man is accused of portraying
   a woman on the Internet as someone with fantasies of being raped.
   
   The woman was not physically harmed, but six men showed up at her
   apartment between April and July saying they were responding to her
   online personal ads that said, "I am into rape fantasy and gang-bang
   fantasy." She didn't even own a computer at the time.
   
   Gary S. Dellapenta, 50, will be arraigned Feb. 2 on one count of
   computer stalking, one count of using a computer to commit fraud,
   deceive or extort, and three counts of solicitation to commit sexual
   assault, district attorney's spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons said Thursday.
