Samantha (the victim)

And I didn't really think too much of it, but apparently he did.

So next, he wanted to know if I wanted to go ice skating.

I did not want to go ice skating with him.

but that's when I was younger and still trying to be nice and so I told him that I had studying to do instead of just flat out saying no I don't want to go.

When I set those boundaries and he didn't like it things kind of escalated after that.

The spring semester I was sitting in class and I would see him drive through the parking lot on campus

Not long after that, my friend was at the house and I looked out the window and I was like, he's outside, but he was on foot.

And my friend got up and ran out of the house and chased him.

I filed a PPO that night and the judge signed it ex parte, which means there was no court hearing.

This was serious enough that it was necessitated.

After that, you know, it's just a matter of every time you see him, you have to document it.

All summer, he'd drive by and I'd be like, well, am I calling the police today or am I not calling the police today?

And then we got a new prosecutor and she called me and she said, you know,

all of this is going on.

Like, do you want to press charges?

And I said, yeah, absolutely.

I'm tired of this.

He got 24 months of probation and he was in jail for a few days and he got credit for time served.

And instead of changing his behavior, he found a new victim.

I always knew that there would be somebody else.
