The red tape never ends. Going the other way, from Canada to Virginia, my local EPS (Edmonton Police Service) referred me to the mounties (feds). Jurisdiction issues, ay. I will make up a list of links to the offenses, just in case they actually get back to me and request more information.
They still need to know where the relevant ISP is in reference to their logs and admin personnel, so I am glad that the last IP from the mail-bombing of Fran Rogers (71.107.162.158) still reverses to verizon.

I think the only options remaining are to start reporting him to the police.
If anyone else wants to know which police to contact, then these few things might be useful. Basically, you would start with...Is this legal?...I don't want him on my project, because...and this is how I know who he is. You might get some help with that from verizon's abuse contact or their abuse phone number. Sometimes, I'll warn ya, you can get more help from abuse contacts than cops, just because they're equipped to verify that e-mail directed at you came through them.

This is not the relevant police department. The relevant police department is the local police department of the victim, not the attacker. The victim must file a complaint locally, and then the local police will take the necessary steps to liase with the jurisdiction of the attacker.
I learnt this a few years ago when dealing with a certain Canadian.
