I am very elated at the result of what could of been a very disappointing morning.
This morning, walking back home after visiting the library two mid-20ish youths called me a pervert, weirdo and paedophile. Police arrived within minutes of my 999 call where they were promptly arrested and are now being held in the cells pending bail. They will be prosecuted for aggravated behaviour and section 5 and if all goes well they will have a permanent record of criminal behaviour.
For me, although the initial experience was harrowing, is a great win against ignorance and bigotry that some people fail to educate the younger generations against.
I have to commend the police on their excellent service and worth every penny of tax payers' coinage. After all, no person should live in fear of another.
Love
Penny

Brilliant news about the support etc, Penny, still something none of us needs tho. 10 years ago the police were not so understanding or supportive, in that ''If you go round in dresses, what do you expect''

Good for you, Penny, well done, I'm glad you're alright. And good on your local police as well, it's nice to hear something positive.

I'm Ok girls, just that incident scared the cr@p outta me but the police officers who turned up could not have been nicer under the circumstances. The idiot giving me grief was a neighbour ( i use that term VERY loosely) who i'd had trouble before a few times.......but This time he's gonna get his come-uppance, and there's a 99.9% Chance he'll be evicted.

You know, I'm normally quite liberal, but guys like this, I just want to put them in the stocks, go round the market and stock up on cauliflowers...

Well Penny, things are progressing on that front for me too. Police & PCSO's came to see me yesterday and i asked them what i could do to make the place more secure. They Recommended to the local council that i be given permission to have a strong lock fitted and that is just for Starters!. They are also looking at getting the guy evicted & not before time too. He's Harassed everyone on the same floor as me.......there's an 80yr old lady living next door & he's even been bothering her ( which is NOT on).
I'm expecting a call from the council housing peeps tomorrow, because a meeting has been arranged SPECIALLY to sort out whats been going on. So things are looking up......watch this space!

Gracie, The police here suggested something called a harassment notice might be worth trying. But My Local authority have summat much better & thats called an Eviction Notice. That means he can be evicted from his apartment immediately & he doesnt have to be given any notice.

Can you get a "restrining order" - that's what its called here. Don't know what it is in UK.
The idiot might want to get even - hopefully not.
The restraining order would require him to cease harrassing you and usually forbid him from coming near you or your residence.

Sorry to learn of your and Penny's experiences. East Anglia was always a red neck area. It appears little has changed since my departure many years ago
