Being threatened with nude photos, tracking my location, hacking my accounts. HELP

[Ohiogal]

I went to the court house and asked for advice. They were extrmemly rude, would not tell me anything, and basically said I was on my own. I am scared for my safety and they do not care.

They were not rude. THEY CANNOT TELL YOU ANYTHING LEGALLY! They aren't lawyers. They won't give legal advice. You need a thicker skin on that point.

So I need to go back to the police department, basically say "I need to report a crime" instead of asking what to do, then make a police report, and then go back to the court house again and they will actually speak to me? I am just confused what I do with the police report because they wouldn't even talk to me today.

No. You need to go in with the forms on the Supreme Court of Ohio website to file a restraining order. Google Ohio Supreme Court. It will bring it up. If you need spoon fed:
https://www.supremecourt.ohio.gov/JCS/CFC/DRForms/default.asp
https://www.supremecourt.ohio.gov/JCS/domesticViolence/protection_forms/stalkingForms/

Start there. Read. Educate yourself. Go from there. Good grief. NOT that difficult.

Not quite.

Yes, file the report.

However, in order to be heard in court, you have to file your paperwork and get onto the calendar. I do not know how to do it where you are, and I barely know how to do that where I am.

No judge is going to hear anything from someone randomly walking into the building. There is a process.

The police are not lawyers. Any advice I've had from the police concerning court and restraining orders has been wrong. They will say, "Go to court at [time court opens]," omitting the important fact that there is an intake process, and that process has to occur before you get to a courtroom in front of a judge, and that process might not originate in the same building - or even the same town.

Read through all those links that OG posted. That should get you started.

When you go to the courthouse, you need to state specifically, that you need to file for a restraining order. You will be directed to what office in the courthouse you need to go to, to file for the restraining order.

sp7233 had other posts reported and removed.

I thought my earlier post in this thread, that indicated the age of the thread and warned sp7233 about reviving old threads, might be enough to keep others from wasting time on an original poster who is no longer around.

Apparently not.
