Hi,
I've ben harassed online - Facebook, Instagram, Whatasapp, email, phone calls - for 18+ months. The local police don't want anything to do with it, so I engaged a private investigator to look into the issue, and identify who's been doing it.
That work is now completed. So my question is: how do I get the police to take this seriously and lay charges against the individual? Further complicating the issue is that the person may be in a different state, although there were many instances when I was physically in the same state as the harasser. Should I see the police in that state?
Or should I speak to a lawyer and pursue something civil?
My main issue is that online harassment and bullying is illegal but the police have no ability to investigate or lay charges.
Thanks
