Sean Boushie has violated at least 284 counts of six Montana criminal laws.  I have been documenting them here on this website.  I have much more to post, but I needed to stop somewhere and submit this to all the law enforcement authorities.

Here are each of the criminal statutes that I have identified.  After each statute is a link to a website that I set up to chronicle his stalking and threats.  When you click on that link, it takes you to all the evidence of that crime.  There are many counts, so you have to page down to see each one.

Thus far, I have identified and documented 284 counts of violations of six (6) Missouri criminal statutes:

67 counts of violation of the Privacy in Communications law identified on the website.
