What is the name of your state? Indiana and Florida
Hi, I have a question and a bit of a story to go with it. I am in Indiana. I had a situation occurred recently on a social media platform. I had someone who befriended me and was really kind, but in the end manipulated me into giving information and allowing them to contact me personally. This person then turned almost stalkerish and started acting controlling. This person was interested in me, but I was not interested in them. And about a week ago, they got really jealous and controlling so I blocked them on all social media platforms. On one of the platforms, I will go live with some friends on occasion… And middle of last week I saw the person join it with a new account I let the host of the live know that this person was making me uncomfortable and to watch for them. I mentioned the user name, and that this person lived in Florida. But no other information the host made a few jokes but again no information was given.
Then last night I noticed another account for them that popped up on my stuff… And I blocked it. Then the one thing that I forgot, after I block them, they sent me a text threatening that they were going to file police reports in my county and in their county in Florida, because we were sharing where they lived and other personal info in the live, which wasn’t true. It only came up at all when we saw the new account pop in and we’re fairly certain that they have made others that weren’t so obvious. We also have access to the live videos if necessary. But they were falsely, accusing and talking about taking legal action, and how Florida’s laws are super strict on this. I mean, the topic came up, like I said… But we were mostly talking about other things had nothing to do with this. And it was only because it made me uncomfortable. But we did not say any addresses… I don’t even know the persons address and we didn’t give last names or anything like that, just info that was already public knowledge was mentioned.
I was advised to go ahead and file a police report myself so I did, but it has led to a lot of questions on , how far can this even go? I feel like he’s probably just trying to scare me because he’s mad that I rejected him when he was interested in me. I provided the text that he sent me last night to the police. I did respond at first and then I didn’t respond to his last one when he said not to contact anymore but I have never dealt with anything like this and it has me a little bit anxious… So I thought I would just ask for any thoughts or advice. I’ve also blocked him on my phone now. My biggest question is… What would even happen if he filed a report? He’s in Florida and I know that they have some strict laws against cyber bullying. I also just don’t even know how that works with state laws in a situation like this because I would think that since I’m in Indiana, Indiana laws would pertain to me… Is that correct? I’ve just been overthinking this all night, because I never intended to bully or do anything other than just protect myself in the platform.
Thank you,
