They've really got this guy nailed now. All of the harassment, all of the nudes, all of the nightmare was stemming from this one person. And yeah, he was able to get others to join in on the harassment. But if it wasn't for him, nobody else would be harassing these women. And just knowing this is such a relief in a way. You're dealing with the darkness and anonymity of the internet. And you have no idea how many people are behind your harassment. But now it's clear it's one guy, Christopher. And they know everything about him. But he didn't know they were on to him. And so he kept up his harassment campaign, calling bosses, sending nudes to their friends and asking others to join in. I

think like the nature of online, like cyber harassment is that like you don't have anywhere to run to so like if you're getting like bullied or or like physically harassed you're like okay i can at least run home and like retreat to my room and you know be depressed in bed but you're constantly being harassed and you can't forget anything at home because it's just nonstop being harassed. Do

you know that some women have killed themselves over this? Yes.

One of the victims, she actually tried to kill herself as well. So one of the girls, she had a really rough time and tried committing suicide as well. Wow,

that is awful. And this is what I mean.

I definitely can, like, I don't want to say like, oh, I was definitely suicidal. But there were definitely like, times when I was like, is this, like, worth it? Like, and then, like, I don't know. I was just very down and, you know, it was just really rough. And then getting my twin sister involved, like, there were actual days where I was like, her life would be better without me in it. Like I could definitely see how it's so easy to get so depressed in a situation like this.

So I feel like there's a meeting now, right? You, Madison, and Christine are like, okay, we know what's going on. We know who it is. What's the plan going forward? Am I picturing

it right? No, that's exactly correct. And it was a super delicate situation, right? Because we'd already had very limited success with law enforcement to care, to give a shit about what's happening. But we decided as a group that our only real shot to get some attention here is in numbers, right? And we know that there's five-ish other women and girls who are being harassed at the same time. They must be going through hell themselves. In order to get any sort of prosecution, he won. We didn't want him to wipe his hard drives. And two, we didn't necessarily want him to stop immediately and go into a hole. So we had to be kind of, we wanted to be behind the scenes on this. But we had to also ban the other women together without them tipping him off, really. So that was our next move, was to figure out how to do that. Yeah.

And to tie this back to the post about the back porch, so his current fiance, again, one of the victims, you know, occasionally he would post weird things like nudes of himself even without a face. Just different fetishes or desires. And I think in this particular case with the back porch, so his fiance at the time that's their shared home, her testimony is kind of important at that instance of like, hey, confirm this is your back porch. And so we really wanted to loop her in, but she's his current fiance. Can we trust this person? And you try to think of how you would react in a situation, but not knowing the person on the other end, we don't personally know her. We didn't know any of these women. So we didn't know how they were going to react to any of this. So we weren't really quite sure when to, or if we should even loop them in. So ultimately we eventually decided, you know, we all need to band together. Like individually, they're not, they don't care. But if we can band together, show that this is a bigger issue than just, you know, one person getting harassed, and this is an issue for society as a whole. Maybe they'll take us seriously. So at that point, that's kind of when we reached out to them on any social media platform or contact information that we could find and kind of filled them in at that point. Two of the girls

had previously caught him as well. And this was before we had gotten in communication with the six victims. And so one of the girls was one of his ex-girlfriends from college. So she obviously knew where the photos came from. She was fairly certain it was him. she felt close enough to the father his name's john she felt close enough to reach out to him and be like hey like chris is like doing some really bad things like he's posting my pictures you know there's thousands of posts like he needs to stop like i'm getting the police involved but like can you please help me? And he promised her that he would talk to him, would get him into counseling, would help him. Like, just please don't, you know, press charges. Same thing happened to another victim that was a family friend up there. She actually narrowed down that it was him after just how he uses like punctuation he would use like three dots and a space which I was like wow you you like thought of that that's like actually like so good and she literally narrowed it down by that and then called him out on Facebook Messenger and they, and they, as in, uh, Chris and his dad and brother, both named John, they convinced her not to press charges if he promised to stop. And she says, you have to get help. I've been a family friend for a very long time. I feel for you. I love you and your family. I need, I want you to get help. At this point, she didn't know what the extent of it was to other people. She thought she was the only one. Um, so she felt horrible when we all got ahold of her and was telling her what was going on. Um, but, and obviously wanted to like be in our, our group and help. So we actually had all of the confessions of him confessing it and his brother confessing that he's known that he does this and we'll get him help. And fast forward, they've never got him help. He continued to harass innocent women and children for years and years to come after that. So

they got all the victims together on the same page, six total. And they were all really sick and tired from being harassed by this guy. And they were shocked to find out Christopher was the one behind it because they all knew him. There were a few other women that we didn't, that we didn't never even reached out to that he was efforting

nudes of them too at the same time. But we didn't even, we had enough at that point. So Christine created quite a compelling

folder of evidence for each of the women to take into their own police departments and hand it to the police. I

compiled essentially a binder of like facts and circumstantial evidence that connected, because again, we don't have legal evidence at this point too. This is all kind of circumstantial evidence at this point. When we looped in the other girls, we did again have screenshots of some confessions and things like that. So pretty substantial circumstantial evidence, but circumstantial nonetheless, no subpoenas at this point or anything like that. So Dana and Madison and I compile this little revenge porn for dummies, kind of. Knowing our experience going into the sheriff's office, knowing that this is going to be a fight, let's be armed with the law at least. Let's be right. Let's have the laws printed out and referenced in front of us. They have to listen to us, right? So we compiled this little binder. We had background. We had each individual victim and like a snippet of their backstory. We had any potential law that I saw that could potentially be violated from each jurisdiction, including federal.
