MANHATTAN — Ivanka Trump's alleged stalker was extradited to New York Wednesday night, the New York Post reported.

Justin Massler, 27, once a "Harvard-bound star student and athlete," according to the Post, was arrested last month in Reno, Nev., for allegedly harassing Trump through Internet postings.

On March 2, Massler is accused of posting 14 menacing tweets about Trump, the daughter of real estate mogul and reality TV show host Donald Trump.

Massler also created the "Ivanka Trump Fan Blog," where in a posting he described himself as a "celebrity stalker who is obsessed with Ivanka Trump."

His mother, Randee Massler, told the Reno Gazzette Journal that her son is "sick and has a history of mental illness," claiming that he has "never harmed anyone and hasn't done anything other than write articles on the Internet."

She also told the paper that Justin had legally changed his name to "Cloud Stormchaser."
