Have you sought a restraining order against this person? If not, why not?
I discussed this today with an attorney. $1500 to go "the cheap way", $3500+ if filed on the office letterhead. If it is not contested, no problem - it's granted, but if he responds, I am in litigation, read :$$$$. I have to question the value of that. If there is an alternative to this method I'd like to hear it.

Have you notified the police of any repeatedly harassing calls or e-mails? If not, why not?
The person isn't stupid enough to put his name on such actions. This is happening, but I cannot connect it to him in an actionable way.

All the more reason to seek a restraining order. It won't stop him from posting to public boards, but it could stop him from e-mailing you or calling.
Emailing perhaps. Emailing from another email address / IP or using calling cards...useless.

Just when will that be? When you are charged with a crime?
I spoke with 2 lawyers today. When SHOULD I speak to one?

The actions might be annoying and harassing, but they are not necessarily threatening. Actions this person could take could include reporting your attack to the police ... it wouldn't go very far, but it is technically a crime.
Thats what I was told today by one attorney. I guess police and prosecutors have more serious investigations to devote resources to.

But ... YOU did the assaulting! When did this person assault you?
If this fellow had been taking up skirt shots of women, would he be commiting a crime? My intent was not to offend, it was self-defense.

You MIGHT have a case for stalking or harassing electronic communication, so it might behoove you to speak to the police and provide them with proof of this ongoing contact and why it makes you fearful.
And which jurisdiction would I report it to? US or my home country? His home county?

Thanks Carl.
