Sorry for the long post, but please, for the sake of us ladies, please read! I am not the one heâs in jail for, but I would like to share my story. I will call tomorrow to see if I can get the police report to update this post. I was about 7 months pregnant at the Istokpoga boat ramp with a backpack of fishing gear, my phone, and fishing pole, heading down the boardwalk when I noticed a man behind me. He startled me, but I also know people use that spot to decompress, so I didnât think much about it. He approached me once I reached the water, then started off with small talk. I cut the conversation off and kept fishing. He then proceeded to follow me within armâs reach and started making very sexual and vulgar remarks. I was making my way back up to the parking lot while telling him to stop, and I called my boyfriendâs job to let him know what was happening. Then, a man pulled up to get water for his truck. I was walking up the road part while he took the boardwalk back to the parking lot, and I was able to get back to my car while giving the descriptions of this man and vehicle he was in. Once I was safe in my car, I called the sheriffâs office to report what had happened. I requested a callback, and within 10 minutes of me arriving at my home, I received a call from the deputy, who stated, âI knew exactly who you were talking about once I passed his car. I made contact. Weâve had several reports about him, and heâs been trespassed from several locations for the same incidents.â While still shaking, I couldnât help but laugh in a way, saying, âAre you fu***ng kidding me?â But was then informed they could not legally do anything because I was not physically assaulted. I then proceeded to tell that deputy exactly how I felt about the situation and the lack of failure from the ones who are there to âprotect.â We were the only ones out there until the older gentleman arrived to put water in his truck. Still, to this day, Iâm thankful for a complete stranger, because I could have been gone in an instant, along with my unborn child. Then, a couple of years later, he approached me at a gas pump with the same demeanor. I cussed him out very loudly, causing a scene, which scared him away. And then, months later, at the Circle K on 98. But what could I do? This disgusting excuse of a human is the reason I started carrying my own fi***rm! â ď¸
