Stalking - how do you prove it and stop it?

dmp, you should definitely go to the police.. if they do nothing, then take the next step and talk to the guy. If you don't go to the cops first, you could be done with harassment etc?

Is he being pervy or just a bit weird? If the former, definitely go to the police :(

Take the rest of your band if you go talk to him, the bass player looks kind of scarey..
 
I would say the only option you have atm is go to the police, any other option you take will probably drop you in more crap than not, since you've posted your feelings this shows that it is a pre-medated(sp?) attack and will mean you will be in deep **** if this comes to light

I'm afraid all my band and roadies are as soft as jelly thats been melted and the bass player is ugly not scarey.

The guy has softened up a bit and his texts over the last two days have been OK but i've told the young lady to tell me if things get weird again.

Thanks everybody.

You should report it none the less chap. Things can get very weird very quickly, and the sooner the coppers know the sooner they can apply for asbo/restraining order thingies. I had an experience a few years ago, went to the rozzers (like you my friends was armed only with text msgs) and they took it quite seriously. Fortunately after a talking to from 2 coppers he wasn't heard of for quite a while.

Hope it works out.
 
Just an update -
The texts and him hanging outside her house has still been going on and at 1 am in the morning we phoned up the Police and got through to Personal Services.
They came round at 1pm today and were pleased that she had kept all the threatening texts.
They are going to talk to him tomorrow and hopefully it stops.
 
One of my friends girl friends was being harrassed a few years ago and I'm rather ashamed to say that we did something very illegal and (in hindsight) very stupid to show him the error of his ways. It did stop him but I wish we'd tried the Police first as if we'd been caught then we would have been in deep doggy do.

You've definitely done the right thing by reporting it.
 
Update -
Coppers came and he gave a false address to the girl, the car he uses is knicked and he's being ivestigated for stalking another girl.

Sounds like you definitely did the right thing reporting him then, this guy could be really, really dodgy. Hope everything works out ok and the police get to the bottom of it.
 
What i would say is tho be really careful as he might react even more strange now tho if you have reported just keep an eye on everything some nutters out there :mad:
