Man admits to online stalking campaign against his own girlfriend

[EightiesChick]

Almost beyond belief to see what some men will do. Very worrying too. The report is here.

yes, unbelievable. What a disturbing story.

Lets not forget women are also capable of creepy twisted behaviour

Women are just as bad. I remember a woman who pretended to be someone else, contacted her husband online, was corresponding with him for months and then arranged to meet him, then dumped him for it.

It seems unbelievable that it went on for so long. He could see the impact that it was having on her life but continued for years. He is obviously a very sick individual. Did he give any justification/ reason for his behaviour?

Yeah, JL2K, that's just as bad as sending naked photos out, convincing her her movements are being watched, pretending to be her to proposition people and sending them her address, pointing the blame elsewhere leading to an innocent friend was arrested and keeping the campaign going for three years until she was afraid to leave the house.

It's a bizarre story. What do we think was his motivation? Keeping her nicely cowed and needy? Casting himself as her protector?

I would guess at both of those Cogito. Nothing in the article I read attempts to explain it. The DM may give it a go

Lorem yes, it's hardly the same... this woman believed she was in physical danger, and in fact could have been had something bad happened as a result of strangers being 'invited' to show up at her house.

Ah yes, the Daily Mail version. They make no bones about saying he was jealous of her life at university without him. Controlling, possessive etc.
