Tracy Biondi is expected to return to court Wednesday, Nov. 4, as her defense seeks dismissal of an indictment against her and suppression of evidence obtained from a mobile phone.
Biondi is expected to appear in court at 9 a.m. at the Somerset County Courthouse in New Jersey.
The final disposition hearing could clarify whether the case will proceed and how the defense’s requests will be addressed. Biondi was denied admission to New Jersey’s Pretrial Intervention program in May.
Known as PTI, the program offers eligible defendants, generally those facing prosecution for the first time, an alternative to the traditional criminal court process through supervision and rehabilitative services. Charges are dismissed if participants successfully complete all court-imposed conditions, according to the New Jersey Judiciary.
Defense attorney James Wronko in August said discovery was complete and that he intended to file motions to dismiss the indictment and suppress evidence from the phone, which he said was an iPhone.
Wronko first outlined plans for the motions in May, saying he would pursue them after reviewing discovery. He reiterated those plans at the late-August court appearance.
Assistant prosecutor Nicole McGrath objected to the delay in filing the motions.
McGrath said the defense had previously indicated that a motion would be filed before the next hearing, but it had not been submitted.
Wronko attributed the delay to obtaining transcripts and being on vacation in July.
He requested two weeks to file the dismissal motion, while the prosecution requested three weeks to respond.
The most recent court appearance was moved from Oct. 28 to Nov. 4.
Biondi was arrested Nov. 13, 2025, after an investigation into anonymous handwritten letters and social media messages, which law enforcement alleged that she was behind.
The criminal complaint claims that said she targeted an athlete who had been victimized by her former club field hockey coach. She was later subjected to cyberstalking, stalking and harassment in 2025.
Biondi, of Basking Ridge, was arrested at her home and charged with fourth-degree cyberstalking, fourth-degree stalking and harassment.
After investigating anonymously distributed handwritten letters and social media comments and messages, law enforcement obtained subscriber information through a grand jury subpoena for an Instagram account that was sending “lewd,” “indecent” and “obscene” messages about the victim.
Police said the messages were sent to the victim’s family and friends. Investigators later determined the Instagram account was tied to Biondi’s email address.
Based on their findings, investigators accused Biondi of intentionally trying to emotionally harm the victim and make her fear physical harm.
A communications data warrant for Biondi’s Gmail account allowed investigators to find screenshots of the harassing and disparaging Instagram messages sent to the athlete, her friends and her family, as well as screenshots of friends’ Instagram accounts and the home addresses of people who received the handwritten letters.
According to the complaint, investigators also found communications between Biondi and an unidentified third party discussing the handwritten letters and wearing gloves in an apparent effort to conceal her identity.
While executing a search warrant at Biondi’s home on Nov. 13, investigators searched her bedroom and found notebooks that, according to the complaint, contained a list of the victim’s school friends and home addresses, including some who received the handwritten letters, as well as the usernames of the victim’s friends who received Instagram messages.
Investigators also found copies of harassing and disparaging Instagram messages about the victim, along with notebooks containing her personal information, including schools she attended, friends, workplace and other details, according to the complaint.
According to the complaint, the victim told investigators the letters and social media messages had a “devastating impact” on her life, leaving her fearful and traumatized.
Biondi had ties to the field hockey community and to former New Jersey club field hockey coach Brett Clay.
Clay pleaded guilty in February 2025 to fourth-degree attempted criminal sexual contact after admitting he tried to have sexual contact with the same victim that Biondi is alleged to have stalked and harassed.
According to the prosecutor’s office, Biondi openly supported Clay and tried to rally other families behind him.
