The closest I can find is an accusation by [good guy number 1], who
ironically uses the same exact law (Section 113 of the "Violence
Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act") that
[bad guy number 1] accuses Wikipedia admins of violating.  And [good
guy number 1]'s accusation in itself rests upon "outing" [bad guy
number 2].

If that law really is to be read as broadly as [bad guy number 1] and
[good guy number 1] want it read (that "annoying" people anonymously
is illegal), then [good guy number 1], [good gal number 1], and [bad
guy number 2] are all guilty of violating it.
