Hello,

I am currently being harassed by a person I used to chat with online and via texting. We initially began by texting, "sexting", and just making small talk. We never developed a serious relationship by any rational means and after a while my messages got less frequent. I was not interested in anything serious but I genuinely liked their company though so we kept small chatting. Besides a few voice messages, we never even talked on the phone properly. This person first confronted me asking why I had not taken the relationship seriously. I told them we are not in a relationship for a number of reasons, I just wanted to chat and see what came of it. So we continued. Recently, this person asked when are you going to start a relationship with me and I told them I did not want to do that. I stopped replying and they created fake accounts to contact me and asked others to contact me as well. I told them that I am sorry if I may have given them false hope and that I am sorry for any other wrongdoings of mine. I told them we cannot be in a relationship and I do not wish to be contacted. I have since not replied to them.

Now the person is constantly harassing me saying mean, hurtful, and degrading things. I blocked them everywhere that I could and on facebook (they were not my friend but after these messages, I full on blocked them). This person immediately knew I blocked, which leads me to believe that they are stalking me constantly. Before uninstalling my application, I received 10-20 messages daily of this. I am sure they are still sending them but I am not reading them because I cannot bring myself to do it right now.

This is a very uneasy feeling. I am concerned this harassment will continue and that they will find new ways to harass me. I am digitally checking out for a while, simply monitoring some things to make sure all is okay but I am very concerned. Since this person lives in another country and we never met, the legal ramifications, I am assuming are slim. What is the best way for them to just stop harassing me and get them to leave me alone at this point?

Thank you all.
