He just wanted to hear a 'thank you'
Call Stalking: Frenchman goes to jail after calling his ex-girlfriend over 21, 000 times in just ten months.
Only a court order could stop him: For ten months, a nameless Frenchman dialed the phone number of his ex-girlfriend every day about 73 times. In the end, the total number of calls totaled the unbelievable 21, 807!
The reason for the large-scale stalking offensive: The man wanted to reclaim from his ex-partner money that he would have spent during their relationship for the renovation of their home. If he did not get this back, he wanted to at least hear a 'thank you'.
He actually got to hear that - in court. The woman, who was at the mercy of the man's ongoing calls for almost a year, did not know what to do next. She had already tried to stop the stalking attacks by changing her phone number. But the man then simply called her at work or with her parents.
Now the obtrusive caller was sentenced to one year imprisonment and payment of 1, 000 euros. In addition, the ex-girlfriend obtained a restraining order. Let's hope she has no more calls to expect in the future - at least not calls from her former boyfriend.
