Spontaneouslove had been posting yesterday about this idiot sending her hate mail. After she blocked his original address from her mail, he kept emailing from other addresses and also managed to find her IM address and harass her even more. Sistermarymartha and me were emailing about the horror of this all and she gave some valuable information about online stalker helpline .

Spontaneous and I  were IM’ing (very late) she said someone was at the door.  Of course I freaked out! Who the heck is at your door at midnight? Before I could say: don’t go! she had already gone. Turns out a neighbor saw a man at her door earlier that night when she had gone out. He had tried entering her apartment. When she finally came back to the chat she called the police and they came over. Turns out the guy had been stalking her for some time now. When she left her appartment, when she came back, he would sit outside and watch her, he had hacked into her Internet system and more creepy stuff. They said they would patrol at night and take her computer for more information.

This morning they gave her the news that he had been caught. He was trying to get to her appartment again. Turns out he had done this to other women too. A clear case of psychopath. So scary.

This all had me seriously freaked out. I will leave the information sistermarymartha gave her last night. We all that blog should keep this in mind. It is serious business.

As for myself, there are no words to describe how grateful I am that it turned out this way. The outcome could’ve been much, much worse.

“Cyberstalking—the use of technology to stalk victims—shares some characteristics with real-life stalking. It involves the pursuit, harassment, or contact of others in an unsolicited fashion initially via the Internet and e-mail. Cyberstalking can intensify in chat rooms where stalkers systematically flood their target’s inbox with obscene, hateful, or threatening messages and images. A cyberstalker may further assume the identity of his or her victim by posting information (fictitious or not) and soliciting responses from the cybercommunity. Cyberstalkers may use information acquired online to further intimidate, harass, and threaten their victim via courier mail, phone calls, and physically appearing at a residence or work place.
Although cyberstalking does not involve physical contact with a victim, it is still a serious crime. The increasing ubiquity of the Internet and the ease with which it allows others unusual access to personal information, have made this form of stalking ever more accessible. Potential stalkers may find it easier to stalk via a remote device such as the Internet rather than to confront an actual person. Conduct that falls short of the legal definition of stalking may in fact be a precursor to stalking and must be taken seriously (U.S. Department of Justice, 1999).

wow.
