Attorney General Aaron Frey is taking action against a 35-year-old Kittery man under the Maine Civil Rights Act.

Frey has accused Alexander Treshinsky of sending a series of threatening, vulgar, and xenophobic messages to a victim he hired to replace flooring in his business.

The victim is a 35-year-old immigrant from the Democratic Republic of Congo, who Treshinsky reportedly referred to with the N-word.

Treshinsky is accused of sending the victim the following text. “Remember my face, ‘boss’”; “Go away you ugly [expletive]. You dumb [expletive] igger (sic)”; “Do you want help to leave the country.  Not your country…My country”; and “Why did your tribe sell you away? They don’t want you hahahahaha.”

Frey also alleges  Treshinsky sent threatening voicemail to the victim, including the following. “Get the [expletive] out of business in America.  I will be your worst enemy until you are gone”; “I promise you…I will chase you down until your [expletive] children’s children’s children give up”; “Understand…you have a [expletive] enemy now.  I will follow you until the end of the [expletive] earth until you fall off it”; and “I’m coming after you bud.  You, your business, everything.”

Frey filed a complaint against Treshinsky Tuesday, asking for a court to order that Mr. Treshinsky have no contact with the victim or any member of his family and comply the Maine Civil Rights Act in the future.

A knowing violation of an order issued under the Civil Rights Act is a Class D crime punishable by up to 364 days in jail and a $2,000 fine.

Fret thanked the York Police Department for their work on the case.
