A GUY at university won’t stop sending me disgusting texts, saying he wants to caress my body and have sex with me. I have only met him once and he was such a creep.
I’m 19 and I started uni in September. There was a WhatsApp group set up for freshers, which I joined so that I could meet a few people before my start date. The whole thing turned into a nightmare.
We went out to a club and this guy wouldn’t stop hassling me. He was drunk, but he kept pawing at me and trying to put his arm around my waist.
One of the other guys pushed him away and then I went home with one of the girls.
Since then, this pest has not stopped messaging me. He’s told me he loves me.
He mentions all the gross things he wants to do to me. I’m terrified he’ll start sending me explicit photos.
I told somebody in the students’ union, but nothing seems to be done about him.
I don’t know how to deal with him. He’s starting to scare me now.
Psychologist says: No wonder you’re frightened. He sounds a real menace and it is understandable that you’re worried.
If you can find the courage, message him and say that if the texts and harassment don’t stop, you’re going to the police. Report him to student welfare, too.
He may be obsessed with you or he may have mental health issues. Don’t go out alone and, if things don’t improve, make sure you keep a log of any incidents.
It would be safer to change your phone number to a new one. Put your current SIM in an old phone so that you can keep any messages separate from your daily life. This way you’ll have the evidence to prove what he is doing.
