"Ex" threatening to post YouTube videos about me. Update

Rhubarbcustard94 · 08/01/2020 11:53

Just a quick update.

My previous post was removed which I think in hindsight was for the best as it contained alot of identifying information, both myself and the man in question. Some posters were able to identify who it was with little effort.

For those who supported me on the thread or were following I'm pleased to report that he has been recalled to prison as of yesterday so there will be no more trouble and no videos and social media posts from him for at least the next two years.

I spoke with probation service on Monday after my initial email who told me of their intention to recall and I then received a subsequent call yesterday afternoon to let me know he had been picked up.

His harassment of me was the deciding factor although I'm told he was already on thin ice, although they weren't able to tell me why that was.

Upon his eventual release he's going to be given a no contact order and a further licence condition that he's not to come within a certain distance of myself or my property.

Thanks again to those who offered advice and support!

Well done OP.
Very pleased to hear that.
Hopefully you won't have to hear from him ever again.
Onwards and upwards!!!

RightOnTheEdge · 08/01/2020 12:03

That's great news OP.
Hopefully you can move on now and it's given you some peace of mind.

Rhubarbcustard94 · 08/01/2020 12:13

Yes it is a big relief! I wasn't expecting immediate recall as all I wanted was to be left alone and did say that in my contact with them but they are of the opinion that he needed to go back.

He went in for a routine probation appointment yesterday afternoon and the police were waiting outside for him as he left. Very well executed and they wasted no time in getting him off the streets.

For a brief moment I felt very guilty but he only has himself to blame.

Well that’s wiped the self satisfied smile off his face. Arrogant twat. That’ll give him a couple of years to think about it.

Rhubarbcustard94 · 08/01/2020 13:10

Absolutely MsA.

I doubt he will reflect on his behaviour and admit to doing anything wrong because in his mind everyone else is negative and out to get him, he does no wrong and anybody he disagrees with is part of a conspiracy to have him recalled - he would say.

Good riddance mate

Good news indeed Wine

Brig93 · 10/01/2020 00:20

Wow, I haven’t read your previous thread but this seems to be really tiring and stressful for you. I hope you ok.. how did you meet this man? Sorry doesn’t want to be intrusive just a bit curious

AlunWynsKnee · 10/01/2020 00:29

I posted and reported about the identifiable stuff and was relieved it went down. Sorry if that caused you any stress.
Good news he's locked up and you're officially off limits to him when he comes out.

PurpleBee39 · 10/01/2020 00:30

This is great news.

Emmelina · 10/01/2020 09:41

This update makes me so happy, you must be so relieved! Cake

Clymene · 10/01/2020 09:43

I read your previous thread on a sleepless night and it was horrifying. Well done. Hope you can relax and move on with your life now.

Rhubarbcustard94 · 10/01/2020 11:33

No stressed caused by the post being removed, upon reflection I gave way too many details and could have put myself at risk so those who reported definitely did me a favour. Thank you!

I met him through an online dating site, typically. Obviously he projected his best self in the profile and left out anything controversial. I found out about his other online presence and history after we met.

A bit of background for those who didn't see the previous thread; he was on a life licence after a prison sentence and has a YouTube platform. I stopped seeing him but he found out my address and was harassing me over the phone and online. I reported him to his probation officer and they decided to recall him to prison.

I was getting messages from his friend last night, a religious woman, telling me I've ruined his life and I'll reap what I sow because God sees everything and I've destroyed him whilst he was trying to get his life together etc.

It has got to me slightly and I'm feeling a sense of guilt about it. I shouldn't have entertained the conversation but did respond and say it was never my intention to have him recalled I just wanted to be left alone which I told him many times.

The daft woman doesn't seem to grasp that the probation service makes the decisions and it's not actually "my" fault that he's back inside. I've blocked her now but feeling quite sad about it all if that's how people see me for trying to protect myself and my children from a dangerous man.

PurpleBee39 · 11/01/2020 18:38

Hi OP, I am very sorry to hear about your awful experience with this apparently "religious person". How she can claim to be a believer of God I'll never know when she treated you like that. She didn't even want to acknowledge what he had done and that it had breached his parole conditions along with his other violations. He is the one that caused his recall to prison nobody else.
Please don't let her get you down. She is talking total bullsh*t.
I hope you start to feel better about this whole situation soon and please take care of yourself x

Interestedwoman · 11/01/2020 18:48

Wow, he must be really dodgy for the police to act so firmly. Well done for protecting yourself and your kids. Look after yourself and do nice and relaxing stuff xxxxx

BackOnceAgainWithATinselHalo · 11/01/2020 18:53

Thank fuck, but also yeesh! What a chilling experience for you. That woman is harassing you - don’t hesitate to make probation aware. He isn’t allowed to contact you and that should include via 3rd parties.

aroundtheworldyet · 11/01/2020 18:54

Omg
I remember your other thread. Though I didn’t see the identifying bits.
He sounded utterly mad. I’m so glad you found out more about him and we’re able to have him sent back to prison.
What a nut job!

aroundtheworldyet · 11/01/2020 18:54

also I agree make the police aware of the woman ASAP

calllaaalllaaammma · 11/01/2020 19:03

You must be so relieved, OP. I'm so glad for you.

Ginger153 · 11/01/2020 19:44

That's great news. You've done absolutely the right thing for you and your family, and the other women out there who he would have moved on to next.

Luckystar777 · 12/01/2020 01:15

Well done OP! That is really excellent news, and not only does it mean you're safe, but all other women are too. He was maybe stalking others as well.

Religious woman just ignore her, she sounds like a loon. I believe there's no god so she's talking bull in my opinion.
