A Florida man took to the internet to ask for help after his girlfriend was yet again found online by her abusive ex, despite her repeated attempts to go off the grid. The couple, both college students, are currently living in different countries, which makes protecting her and taking legal action even more complicated.
The man was so worried about his beloved partner that he turned to an online forum to ask for help and ideas about how to make the stalker stop after years of tormenting his girlfriend.
“He lives in Denver, Colorado, and keeps finding her every time she makes a new social media account — it happened again today,” the concerned boyfriend shared on Reddit.
Florida Woman Being Stalked by Abusive Ex
This isn’t some random troll situation. According to the post, the man’s girlfriend has been dealing with emotional torment, threats, and digital surveillance from her former partner since they were together, and it’s only escalated post-breakup.
“He’s told her things like, ‘You can run but I’ll always find you,’” the boyfriend revealed.
Even more disturbing? This guy allegedly coerced her into self-harm during their relationship, a chilling level of manipulation that makes this case feel more like something out of a psychological thriller than a college romance gone wrong.
The couple has tried going to the police, but were essentially brushed off.
“She’s reported him before, but they said they can’t do anything,” he explained, adding that the legal process feels overwhelming given her unstable home life and their current long-distance situation.
Sadly, this kind of story isn’t rare. According to data from the Cyber Civil Rights Initiative, online abuse, especially by former partners, is drastically underreported and often goes unpunished. Victims are frequently left to fend for themselves while their abusers exploit the loopholes in jurisdiction and technology.
She Just Wants To Feel Safe
The post has since gained traction on Reddit, as the couple decide which steps to take like reporting the behavior to platforms like Instagram, X (Twitter), and TikTok directly, documenting everything for a paper trail, looking into online restraining orders or protective digital legislation, and even submitting a tip to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), even anonymously.
Still, the tone of the original post is one of helplessness and love. The man clearly just wants his girlfriend to feel safe.
“We’d really appreciate any help or resources. Thank you.”
In a world where our digital lives are so entwined with our real ones, this post is out of Florida is a heartbreaking reminder that stalking doesn’t have to involve someone standing outside your window to be terrifying.
