What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PENNSYLVANIA
Can someone who is indirectly harassed/stalked by a person has an order against them have the stalker arrested? If not, what legal steps can be taken by the person who is not "protected" by the order.
Short Version
My boyfriend has an order against his ex because she's harassed him at home & work, destroyed property, and ringing his neighbors' doorbells at 2am to guilt him into talking to her. She knows I have keys & now she calls and texts him every day (we keep blocking new numbers), she peeks in the windows and if I am there she waits for him to walk the dog then harasses him on the street. He's called the police 2x but feels bad and doesn't press charges because "she needs help not jail." What can I do since he's the intended victim?
More Detail (if needed)
1. All her texts go to a spam filter so there's no notification, but you can see them all (like the way email works) when you want. Her calls go straight to voicemail.
2. This woman has a job which requires re-certification every few years and she claims having this order against her will cause her to lose her job. So her texts go from insulting me and him to telling him she loves him, she hates him, please save her job, we can all be friends, [insert racial slur about me], more begging to drop the order... and so on.
3. When she starts saying things about me, he impulsively will call her back and curse her out-- but of course that just makes her send 10 more texts about how she can't believe he's defending me, how he never defends her, etc. I told him he's just giving her the attention she wants so he's stopped. My worry is that this might hurt his case if he actually does have her arrested.
4. The police said the next time he calls she's going to jail. So he's feeling sorry enough that he hasn't called the last 2 times she's showed up (waiting on his porch at 6:30am and another time at like 2am a block away).
