“It was super scary because I’d block him and he’d come back and contact me from another number.”
María said someone must have given the stalker her private number as she began receiving messages on WhatsApp.
She claims the perpetrator threatened to come to her house and attack her boyfriend.
He allegedly sent her photographs of his properties and firearms.
