And the Stalker returns.

I give up.

I don't stay after class for more than five minutes anymore, I don't go to the library unless it's during class, I have taken all the steps to avoid this freak and he still persists.

I am just going to ignore any and all comments he makes in my journal, if you guys could too that would be awesome.

Man, this guy is just too creepy for words.

I've gone to Campus Security and they've said that since he hasn't made any threats to me that there's nothing that can be done yet.

Lazy fuckers. This is not true. Of course, you have to take some steps before law enforcement can step in. But I'll be happy to walk you through what you need to do. (Did I mention, former prosecutor, here?)

First, you need to get an Injunction Against Harassment. This is fairly easy to do, especially if you've kept track of this unwanted contacts -- whether in person, phone, IM, LJ, whatever. At your city court they'll have a form that you fill out, detailing his information, the unwanted contact, etc. The judge then issues an order (usually without a hearing, just based on your petition/sworn statement), prohibiting him from making contact with you in any way -- in person, by phone, by computer, etc. The police will serve the order on him. After he's been served, any time he makes contact, you call the police (not campus security) and report it, making sure they know (although your local police will have it on file) that you have an injunction against harassment against this person. First violation, can be a misdemeanor charge. Continued violations can add up to an aggravated harassment felony charge.

But the first step is getting the injunction. And there does not have to have been any physical contact or threats in order to get this. The fact that he's make sexually ladden remarks, and that you've made it clear that they are not welcome, and he continues to make contact -- this should be more than enough for an injunction.

Like I said, I'd be happy to help you with this.

Dude. I knew my campus security sucked but I didn't realize just how bad they were.

The main problem right now is him friending and commenting in my journal. I no longer stay at school more than five minutes after classes and I avoid the library (Where we had most contact) unless I'm in class and must be there so I've managed to successfully chop our contact almost completely down.

I'm definitely going to check out all my avenues for this and try to figure out which one is best (At a time when I'm not half-asleep).

What moonmelody said. Seriously, long past time to take legal action against Mr. Nutjob. You may want to consult with an attorney (y'know, apart from moonmelody) so you know what all your options are, what you should and should not do with regards to him online, and ditto regarding in-person contact.

But definitely take steps to get an Injunction against him.

The only hesitation I have is the attorney thing, because money is definitely something we don't have enough of. For sure.

I am going to ask around though (I have a teacher who is an attorney and several who are former cops and deputies) and try and figure out what my best option will be.

*Hugs you back*

Talk to your associates. Ask them and/or check in your area for resources for battered women. In my area, there's a resource center that will hook battered women up with attorneys willing to do pro bono work. They might do something for harassment/stalking victims as well, or know someone who might. Also contact your state's Bar Association (which is different from the state Bar) for any resources they may have. The NC Bar Association offers a referral service that gives people a significant discount. Your state's bar association may offer something similar.
