Tracy Biondi is scheduled to appear in court Thursday to find out whether she will be admitted to Somerset County’s Pretrial Intervention Program in connection to allegations that she stalked, cyberstalked and harassed a victim of a sexual abuse case involving her former New Jersey club field hockey coach.
Biondi pleaded not guilty in April. The program’s decision will be announced tomorrow.
If denied, she would go to a jury trial, her lawyer James Wronko said.
“It’s either going to be a probation or a trial,” he said.
Biondi was originally scheduled to appear in court on May 18, but her date was moved to May 28.
Discovery was presented to the program director to evaluate, which Wronko described as “pretty extensive.”
“We filed a pretrial intervention application,” he said. “That’s an application for non-violent offenses with no prior record. So, we filed the application and she gets interviewed. The program director decides if they accept her or if they reject her. If they accept her, then the prosecutor’s office makes a decision.”
The probation period is either one or two years, and at the conclusion of it, the charges are dismissed, Wronko said. Probation could include a psychological evaluation, reporting to the courthouse, and possibly home visits.
But, that only happens if Biondi is accepted in the program, he said.
According to a Somerset County Criminal Complaint, the athlete targeted in the case quit playing field hockey after she was victimized by her club field hockey coach and later subjected to cyberstalking, stalking and harassment in 2025.

Biondi, of Basking Ridge, was arrested at her home on Nov. 13, 2025, 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 grand jury subpoena is a legal order requiring a person to provide testimony or documents as part of an investigation. Failing to comply can result in contempt charges.
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.
The 57-year-old Bridgewater-Raritan Regional School District teacher 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 one of his juvenile field hockey players.
According to the prosecutor’s office, Biondi openly supported Clay and tried to rally other families behind him.
Investigators began looking into the harassment and stalking allegations in May of that year.
