cyber stalking

[Littleblue]

Ive a male friend who has been stalked relentlessly online for about two years..shes tracked his new facebook etc under an assumed name and got hold of his new phone number..this is getting scary..shes clocked me now and is following me too on twitter...i know this is harassment but hes just taking steps to avoid all the time instead of having her cautioned!!..hes concerned it wont be stepped on adequately i think..and that if cautioned it will act like a red rag to a bull..dont know what to do!

bump....

can anyone tell me if she can be cautioned? I know what the harassment act states..but how enforcable is that...

There will have to be some evidence before she wil be cautioned. he should save any messages she leaves etc. Then approach the police. But it is up to him how to deal with it really.

i wasnt sure what section to try..and im involved see..cos shes watching me now too...ty

WHAT IS SHE DOING EXACTLY?

Well if you feel she is stalking you and it causes you genuine distress you can keep evidence and contact the police.

I take it she's is old lover and you are the new one?

Potted history..they met briefly for coffee..her idea about 2 years ago...he sussed immediately she was a bit odd and didnt plan to see her again..she phoned and texted constantly..sending cheques to his house and hounding his websites (work)..he changed his number..deleted facebook and went under an assumed name after she created several fake profiles and harvested his friends lists to get at him that way..he uses social media daily..as do i..and shes got his new phone number somehow..60 odd texts a day and when he turned his phone off for a break..he could turn it on about 2 hours later and she would ring immediately it booted up..hours upon hours of redial..leaves sobbing messages etc..but also taunts him that he cant get away from her.
Somehow she's now picked up my name and so on..and is creating new profiles to watch me and my online interractions...they were never lovers..and he is not my boyfriend either..unfortunately

If you and he set up your privacy properly she cannot see your interactions if she is not your friend or his - that all sounds a bit odd?

shes creating new profiles to target our respective business connections..we both use social networking sites to promote our work...always have done,for every profile shes created to do this,once rumbled/blocked/reported...she just creates another!!!!!..and its 'alot' odd..

she cant see our personal pages no..but shes a wily lil fecker..
