Sued for perjury? Harassed with "legal" e-mails / stalking? - is this serious?
Dear All,
My name is Anna, I am glad I have found this forum. Everyone seem to be so nice. I hope you are all well!
If I found you earlier, for sure I'd be much better by now. Please excuse my English at times, it is not my mother tongue.
Not sure how much details should I give as the situation reaches 28th August 2014. I think best is just to say what I need much appreciated advice for. There is a man who I had sex with, who became dangerously obsessed by me. Although I tried all possible solutions to stop him from seeing me, I was forced to ask the police for help. He kept showing up when I was walking to work, at my lunch time and after work EVERY day. He was arrested and charged with assault and harassment. ( at that time had also had one case against him for property damage).
I didn't come up as a harassed person in court and lost the case. (the prosecutor started acknowledging herself with the case 4 hours before the trial). They didn't ask much relevant questions. And I replied to my best knowledge to reflect facts and not to state untrue facts. Nobody asked me how the man made me feel and how this all affected me. (By nature I am a very relaxed person who regardless of breaking inside wouldn't show anything out). The trial took place early December 14.
I started receiving e-mails from 24th of December where the man informed me he is suing me for £100.000 for perjury, and slander, as well as stating police wrote all my statements and made me sign them because they want to get him through me. It broke me with double force.
I wasn't thinking about the lost case, because at least I had it past me! How wrong my belief was. He e-mailed me 5 times between 24th December and 3rd January 2015.
I have ignored all the e-mails but at some point I couldn't take it and contacted the detective who lead my case earlier. He told me not to respond and ignore all.
Then the man showed up at my home address twice, then when I was walking from work one day , he approached me to "serve" court documents. He violently pulled out my earphones, pushed me several times and put his bike in front of me in the narrow passage. Out of 120 page bundle as he said, he only had about 6 loose pages in his hands. I was forced to call the police as I was proper scared he might do something stupid. The police advised me to accept the documents. But it turned out he only has a part of his own copy on him and that he would drop them at my address later on. I didn't tell the police about the pushing, only that I couldn't pass.
Then he e-mailed me over weekend that he made a statement against me (perjury, slander) which he pasted into the e-mail and second e-mail where he advises me to resign from my work as he will force my boss to sack me for the above offences. Then he showed up the same day to bring me "Judicial Review Form" which was blank. Although I was advised to call 999 right away I have decided to prove to the police how bad this is. Made a 35min recording which I passed on the police. Had threats, insults, and .. some out of context stories that he heard and found amusing (where he was talking to me as to a friend???) The man was arrested but bailed 1 day later. The police became really worried about my safety and unhappy with court decision. The man is to plead end of January this year.
I am going to get some advice this Monday, to get non-molestation order. (Advised by Police) The man has 2 non-molestation orders against him already, from two other women.
From what I've been told he has no right to approach me for 12 months after the trial date (same goes for me).
Questions:
1. Can the recording be used against him?
2. Can he sue me like this? I did not lie or sign false statements.
3. Should I be worried with his claims?
4. Shouldn't I be served a bundle? I only received 4 pages long blank judicial review form with no references etc.
I've read a bit and found out Judicial Review is to use against organisations? Maybe I am wrong. But then the police said he is actually trying to sue them more than me and that he tries to use me against them. That I called 999 at the beginning of this all, to get help in stopping him from seeing me but that the police told me he threatened me to kill me etc. Which he did say, and other things.
I want this over so I can start recovering mentally and put my life back together. Are the any ways to speed it up and defend myself?
I am sorry for making it so long. Probably I gave too many irrelevant information and missed important things. Hope someone can advise me.
THANK YOU

A non-molestation order (or alternatively an injunction) sounds like the best thing you can do! Have you saved all the emails? they can be used as 'proof' along with any recordings or witness statements.
