the essential He refuses the separation… and makes 1410 calls to her in two months. He also created fake accounts on social networks to make her pass for a prostitute. The harasser was tried by the criminal court of Tarbes.
It was a short love story that led to weeks of harassment and a living hell for a young woman in Lourdes. After only two months of relationship, things got out of hand and the victim decided to break up, which the rejected lover, FG, really didn’t appreciate.
The two protagonists were absent from the hearing and it was therefore the presiding judge who read out the report: “The gentleman has 7 convictions on his criminal record for receiving stolen goods, vandalism and violence with weapons. The lady filed a complaint because she had decided to end the relationship because he was constantly having jealous outbursts. She explained that he was not clean and that he had problems. She moved into a new apartment and he came to squat in the common areas of her building. He would come and knock on her door. He called her countless times, 1,410 calls in two months, but also text messages, messages via Messenger and Snapchat. They were all types of messages, insults and love but also threats to make her lose custody of her children. Calls and messages day and night.”
A fake Facebook profile making her out to be a prostitute
But the man did not stop there. While he was hundreds of kilometers away from the Marian city, he created fake Facebook accounts in his name, with photos of her where he made her look like a prostitute with the ad “50 € per night, I work at a brothel”: “He also created fake Snapchat accounts on which he “talked to himself” by sending messages and replying to himself while pretending to be his victim.”
When questioned, the defendant explained that he “never tried to harm her, that it was not to harass her but to win her back and that the fake accounts were to annoy her.”
The prosecutor requested a 4-month suspended prison sentence, considering that the alleged offences were “perfectly characterised”. The court followed these requests.
