I went to visit a family friend who has recently lost her father. She lives in another town, so I drove and slept there.
We spent the evening drinking and reminiscing about her father. Her half brother was there with a friend. A very familial atmosphere. Lots of chatter. At leaving time the friend offered to walk us home. On arrival it got weird . It started with him insisting to come in. We politely declined. He got aggressive started talking all sexual and vulgar and tried to push his way into the house. We were pleading screaming for him to leave. He got his leg into the house, and his arm around the door and was jammed there, with both of us pushing the door closed. He must have been in agony bot refused to leave. It was scary. If we had been weaker, or alone he could have got in. He is a young man 20 ish. This lasted for about 10 minutes. My friend does not want to call the police . Her dad just died and I guess she has dynamics to consider. I think this man is a future rapist and deserves to be arrested.

Well done Chitter for reporting him. It takes a brave and strong person to speak out when others close to them feel unable to, regardless of the situation. X 👍

Agree - very hard to go against the opinion of your friends - you have done the right thing Flowers

Chitterchatter1 - '.... your opinions have helped me form mine.'

That is a very beautiful thing to have written Chitter and I cannot tell you how glad - and proud - I am that you have reported him. I cannot speak for others but for me, it felt vital to write of my own experience in the hope it would help you see how very clearly the rest of felt we could 'see' the situation from the outside; likewise that his card would get marked felt beyond imperative.

MNHQ mailed me asking if I was sure I wanted my first post to stay up given the possible legal implications for me, given his trial has not yet occurred, and at that point my answer was yes given how much seemed at stake.

Given you have now, and so brilliantly, acted and reported him I have messaged them to ask them to now take it down but if it helped in the tiniest iota then I remain bloody glad I wrote it. Likewise, my vicarious pride in all the other women who posted is just immense; MN at it's very best.

So what does 'flagging' actually mean? You told the police he tried to attack you? And they what? Are they actually going to speak to him? Is it just 'OK, thanks for letting us know?'
I mean, what is the actual outcome going to be?
