Rochester Woman Arrested for Stalking and Harassment in Ontario County

A Rochester woman was arrested Sunday in connection with an ongoing harassment case in Ontario County, authorities said.

According to the Ontario County Sheriff’s Office, Ashley Danielle Paasch, 38, of Rochester, was taken into custody on January 26, 2025, following an investigation into allegations of stalking and aggravated harassment. The charges stem from incidents that reportedly occurred over the past month involving Paasch and an ex-girlfriend.

Paasch was charged with aggravated harassment in the second degree and stalking in the fourth degree, officials said. She was transported to the Ontario County Jail for arraignment and later released on her own recognizance.

She is scheduled to appear in Farmington Town Court at a later date to address the charges.
