If these twisted statements are provably false - even if they contain elements of truth - then this is a case of libel.
Creating accounts everywhere someone is in order to track what they do and say is stalking.
Making repeated efforts to ruin a person's day is harassment.
Contact law enforcement and/or legal representation. I'm not either of those but it seems like there's a strong case here.
See it these links show up if you “view source” on a browser. Print the source as evidence to bring to a lawyer. Or find a lawyer who either knows how to find stuff online or has a good IT Person.
Be prepared for much more DARVO and other mind games. Be aware Law enforcement can not shield you from all of this, but is a good ally to have. Try to find other local women only clubs or victim helping organizations as allies.
Be aware if you search for them online, there are nutjob sites designed to hurt women in need. Go in person if you can, to pick up their vibe before you open up.
Stay safe! Best of Luck!
If he has uploaded photos of your friend from her social media to his site and she took those pictures, she could have a pathway towards DMCA striking his site down. Talk to a lawyer about it
post anonymously?
Contact the registrar and host of the site. One or both will likely shut it down.
Also contact the police as others have said.
Good luck. Nothing illegal if it’s just screenshots and copies of her word. Like, what is the complaint?
Its called harassment. And its illegal.
Call the police.
It sounds like this person is archiving publicly accessible your friend is making under their real name and archiving them.
There’s a solution to this.
First, you turn off all the lights in your bathroom and close the door. And then you say"Lindsay Logan" three times,at exactly 3:33 a.m. if you do it right a school bus will hit the person and they will die of school bus smash.
Lemmy witchcraft is something I never thought was possible, until now.
Why hasn’t she gone to the police?
Call an attorney to see if there is anything that can be done.
Also, start archiving the website in order to compile evidence for later. Don’t count on this person leaving the site up.
What’s the site?
Get the police involved
OP, your friend is the victim of criminal cyberstalking and harassment. This dude should be reported to the authorities
My guess is that the guy has several red hats in his closet
Oh, without a doubt
I highly doubt a random website will get any traction. Why doesn’t she just make her social media private? Why hasn’t she blocked this random dude
If the guy is dedicated enough, and he seems to be, it won’t work. He’ll find a way to gain access to the private account. He’ll make others accounts.
You can make a new, private account without saying who you are, but you lose people, it’s exhausting to be careful full time and it’s unfair.
She's the victim here and shouldn't need to do any of this.
Everyone regardless of victim status should use the tools available to protect their personal information online.
If someone is publishing your personal information without your consent, local laws and regulations may apply. You kinda have to be lucky with police and the legal system to take you seriously though.
This is stalking. She could get a restraining order which includes interacting with her online content, so if he continued to repost it would be a violation of the order.
Have a detailed, copy-pasted reply with links ready to go. Every time he pops his head up anywhere, remind anybody watching that he is a known pedophile. Also, talk to a lawyer about the possibility his behavior might rise to the level of harassment.
Careful, falls under libel if you can’t prove it.
I don't think I've seen OP mention which country their friend is a citizen of. Many countries have libel laws that don't care if the claims are true or not, but instead just look at what your intention is by making them.
I heard you can safely call someone an asshole
Wonder if creep would likewise be safe
No, absolutely terrible idea. That’s a lawsuit waiting to happen. He isn’t, from what you’ve said, a “known pedophile” because he hasn’t been charged and convicted of anything that would make him so.
Depending on the jurisdiction you’re in accusing someone of being a pedophile may not be a good idea. You should definitely talk to a lawyer though, preferably before you make any accusations.
Ignore him?
Nobody cares about what some random person says about some other random person. If she just stops stalking this guy stalking her, he’ll either get bored and move on, or, he’ll continue to waste his life posting insults that she’ll never read.
