February 19, 2016 CHRISTOPHER MICHAEL SALAYSAY [#264317], 41, of Union City, was suspended from the practice of law for two years, with credit given for time he was placed on inactive status. The suspension will last until he provides proof of his rehabilitation. He was also ordered to take the MPRE and comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. In addition, he was placed on three years’ probation and faces a two-year suspension if he does not comply with the terms of his disciplinary probation. The order took effect Feb. 19, 2016. In 2014, Salaysay pleaded guilty to one count of stalking with a prior conviction for stalking, a misdemeanor. In 2011, Salaysay began stalking a woman he had dated, initially calling her 50 times a day for weeks. He also sent the woman harassing and threatening texts and emails, calling her at one point and stating, "If you were here, I would kill you."The threatening emails and text messages continued and Salaysay made threats against the victim in messages he sent to her friend. He also made threats on Facebook using an alias and posed as the woman on several online sex sites, giving out her phone number. As a result, the woman received text messages and calls from men trying to confirm arrangements to have sex with her.On May 10, 2012, the woman received a call from a blocked number which was actually Salaysay who described how he would get into her apartment and “get†her. Later, he sent her an email using an alias with correspondence between him and the seller of a handgun. The woman ultimately received a temporary restraining order and Salaysay stopped contacting her.Prior to his admission to practice law, he was convicted of stalking another woman.In mitigation, Salaysay had no prior record of discipline since his admission to practice law and entered into a pretrial stipulation with the State Bar. |
