And so they would give the police this user's data without a fuss. But if Christine wants information on a user, these sites are not going to give it to her. She doesn't have the subpoena power that the police have. However, she's got a trick up her sleeve to get that power.

This was a civil lawsuit, which they actually opened up before they even knew it was Christopher. They were so frustrated that the police weren't helping them. And they were like, fine, we'll get the subpoena power ourselves. It's going to take some extra money and time. But they had to do something about this guy. Now, here's the problem.

They didn't know his name when filing the civil suit, so they just filed it against John Doe. Basically, they were going to use the courts to be able to issue subpoenas to identify their harasser. But there's another problem. Soon as the subpoena comes through, the site will likely inform Christopher that there's a case against him, and he'll get to see who's filing it.

So the sisters didn't want to put their names as the victims of the case and instead wanted to file it anonymously, which I think should also be fine since they're the victims. Courts should protect victims in cases like this, right?

That's another whole level of frustration is that they denied you to be anonymous or just the initials of the lawsuit. Because, yeah, that opens you up to all kinds of other problems.

By this point, Christopher was well aware of what was going on. He knew. They all knew. It was him. And they were talking about it, too. Like, I think his dad was telling everyone, okay, let's all calm down. I'll talk to Christopher and get him to stop. I'm sorry. But promise after promise was broken. He wasn't stopping. He kept at it.

He even apologized and admitted to it a few times, but then kept doing it. He somehow was addicted to harassing these women. Even with lawsuits, even with criminal cases open, he just wouldn't stop. Luckily, they were able to get the FBI's attention on this.

Yikes. What a mess at every turn. So thank goodness the FBI was looking into this. We've got a monster on the loose. Go get them.

Arrested? Oh, thank goodness. I don't think I can handle any more problems. And actually, the arrest wasn't even that big of an event. His lawyer convinced him to go down and turn himself in because this will look better to the judge. So he did. He went down to the police station himself, turned himself in, and then they just processed him and let him go back home.

But at least the perp is recognized, identified, and court dates were set. And listening to them talk, I don't think there was a way for him to stop on his own. He was just too far gone into all this. But what's amazing are these two sisters. They were relentless about fighting back because Christine was a lawyer. So she knew what avenues to go down and what laws to wield in order to fight this.
