Dowdell seeks diversion in harassment case in Douglas County
Dowdell applied for diversion in September after prosecutors noted his lack of prior criminal history. Although the agreement was accepted, the court filing and stay order are pending, delaying diversion becoming effective. If completed, the diversion avoids conviction though it remains on the record unless expunged. Dowdell faced a harassment charge for sending sexual messages via multiple social media accounts. One victim, Rachel Gronback of New Zealand, reported unwanted images and a limited apology. Gronback later traveled to the U S for a trial, while Dowdell posted a public statement taking responsibility but questioning the circumstances. If convicted, Dowdell could have faced up to 12 months in jail and a $2,500 fine.
