  • Harrassment... help required...

    This has been going on for over a year now.
    My ex boyfriend and I split up, I think about 2 years ago.

    Since then he has bombarded me with frequent contact, against my wishes. I have tried to express in every way possible, calmly and logically that I would not like continue like this.
    The latest attempts involved repeat calling me - this most notably happened mid last year when I recieved excessive phone calls over 2 days, most of them unanswered, a few trying to ask nicely to leave me alone. This was met with threats to turn up at my work etc. and generally not leave me be.
    Following this he actually did turn up at my work after confirming I would be there, but nothing came of it. Fortunately my coworkers would have been supportive and helpful had anything kicked off.
    I have been harrassed through facebook, email, phone, mutual friends, my close friends, and today upon ignoring him after an accidental meeting in town he turned up at my house.

    I am so sick of this, it is out of order, I've changed all of my contact details and I don't know how he found out where I was living - possibly he chanced it as he knows my current boyfriend and I believe came here once or twice when we were all friends years ago. He has been harrassing my friends for information to the point where I've stopped giving out my contact details to anyone that knows him, thus losing contact with quite a few friends.

    Does anyone know if I can do anything about this? It is very disturbing and kicking off anxiety attacks.

      HI

      Have you tried your local police station, this falls under the PFHA remit, course of conduct etc etc. If as you say you have told him repeatedly not to contact you in any manner, and he continues, he could either received a harassment warning from the police or arrest. I know arrest seems a bit drastic, but sometimes its the old cruel to be kind. Given that he is harassing you at work, by phone and via friends, this is the option I would go down. Maybe a warning is sufficient for him to back off.

      Hope this helps
