After a woman dumped him for lying about his age, a 36-year-old man began stalking her and hatched an elaborate plan to kidnap her using a stun gun and ropes before possibly setting sail to Cuba or Morocco, a federal complaint says.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Michigan charged George Mandarakas with attempted kidnapping.

According to the complaint reviewed by Law&Crime, Mandarakas and the woman met at the University of Notre Dame in 2019 where he claimed to be a student. The two dated for over four years but the woman ended the relationship on Oct. 1 after she learned he had been lying about his age. She told him she didn’t want him to contact her anymore.

But instead of honoring her wishes, he immediately drove from his home in New Jersey to a hotel in Trenton, Michigan, near where she lived, the complaint said. He sent her several text messages and called her numerous times. She finally agreed to meet him at a park where she reiterated her desire not to date him any longer but Mandarakas allegedly blocked her from going back to her vehicle and then tried to prevent her from shutting the car door.

On Nov. 22, Mandarakas walked up to the woman as she left a salon, which made her wonder how he could have known she was there since they hadn’t spoken in about two months. He again tried to prevent her from closing her car door and tried to hug and kiss her, the complaint said. He then reportedly pulled out a diamond ring and began to propose before she drove away.
