I was logged on a bbs [bulletin board service] called "the zoo" and Bill
logged on and came into the teleconference and told everyone he had a
bbs that was free and instructed everyone to call it a gave us the
number to call. I logged on to Bill's bbs "Beyond the Sound Barrier" and
at this time was required to give him my name and address. After doing
this I logged on with my usual handle "She Devil" and for the first
couple of days he seemed really nice. He welcomed me to his bbs and tome
me to look around at what the channel had to offer. The next day he
asked me if I would be co-sysop and watch over the teleconference when
more phone lines were installed. I said yes. and then after a couple of
days he started asking me personal questions such as "do I shave besides
my legs, "what bra size do I wear", would I go out with him", and "
would I blow him". When I would not answer, he kept asking me so I
logged off and went o the other bbs "the Zoo".
He followed me to that channel and logged on and kept telling me he was
going to come to my house. After telling him 20 times not to come over
he finally agreed and I though that was the end of it. That night at
about 1:30 a.m., three days after I became co-sysop, he came over and I
told him not to come back again. It said "it's late and he was going to
have to leave" and he did as I asked. The next day he came to my house
and sat outside for four hours and my mother was forced to call the
police and then he left. The next day he came back and sat outside my
house again and when I went to the front window to see what the dog was
barking at, he saw me and left. That Saturday I went to the bowling
alley to meet a few friends and he followed me around all night but
didn't say anything to me.
A couple of days later when I logged on to this bbs he emulated me and
took me to some pornographic pictures [emulate is a term that refers to
using a computer at a remote location to act as though it were my
computer, in so doing, the remote user can "appear" to others in the
cyber world as though he is me. This is a procedure which, with certain
software, can be done with out my permission, and sometimes, without my
knowledge]. When he did that he I had no way of getting out of them and
I turned my computer off. The next time I logged on his bbs he attempted
to down load pornographic pictures to me but was having trouble doing
it. He allowed me to download one to myself and I did so I could give
one to the detective. I have not called his bbs since then.
