Danielle was stalked by an ex-boyfriend, which drove her to quit high school.

In school, Danielle was bullied and mistreated by her classmates but thought things would change for the better when she began seeing a boy in her class. The relationship quickly went downhill because he was abusive and sexually assaulted Danielle. When she broke up with him and ignored him, he started rumors, followed her to and from school, and she received threatening notes from other students. There was a confrontation at the school, and Danielle was attacked by other students, but the school did nothing to help - until her mom intervened. Danielle is now an author and speaker, helping to raise awareness for teens dealing with the dangers of dating and domestic violence.

Alex was stalked for over a decade by an acquaintance she met through an ex-boyfriend when she was seventeen.

Ten years later, he reached out on social media after her divorce, and they met up, but there were too many red flags, so Alex ended things immediately. She then found out he had been collecting photos of her through the years from social media and using them as screen savers on his computer. Alex also discovered he was behind anonymous threatening emails to her husband while they were married. He continuously called and texted, telling her he was waiting for her to realize they were meant to be together. After Alex blocked him, he waited at her neighborhood bar for her, showed up at her job, and created fake social media accounts to stalk her.

Patrick Brady is a criminologist and university professor who studies stalking behavior and its impact on victims.

We discuss some cases he's worked on, types of technology used by stalkers, common stalking behaviors, and how the justice system responds to stalking. Along with his research, he has conducted interviews with officers, prosecutors, advocates, and survivors to understand the crime of stalking thoroughly. Patrick highlights why it's often difficult to prosecute a stalking case and how we can work with law enforcement to hold stalkers accountable.

Elaine Parker was stalked by a man she met on a dating app.

The relationship moved quickly, and right after they were engaged, Elaine endured domestic abuse, sexual assault, and rape. She finally got him out of the house and turned to the police, who arrested him multiple times when he began stalking her, threatening her, and trying to break into her home.

While Elaine’s stalker is currently in prison, she has made it her mission to help others by creating Safer Date - a dating app that puts safety first. New members must pass mandatory ID checks, global criminal background checks, insolvency checks, and even addict register checks for added peace of mind. Elaine is here to talk about her fight for justice and how she’s become a survivor and an advocate for other women.

Jess is being stalked by her ex-boyfriend.

When Jess became too busy with work, she had to put her relationship on the back burner, but her boyfriend couldn’t accept it. He became jealous and insecure, questioned her about their relationship, went through her phone, and stopped her from talking to her male friends. Jess ended the relationship, and he tried desperately to win her back. When she didn’t respond, he threatened suicide. She called the police, but they determined he was not a threat to himself, and he guilted her into taking him back. When things didn’t change, Jess ended it for good, and the stalking began. Her ex showed up at her house, called and texted nonstop, and spammed her online. His friend told Jess that he was manic, on steroids, had access to weapons, and was dangerous. Jess called the police when he showed up at her house, and he was arrested for domestic violence and stalking, but that hasn’t stopped him from continuing to stalk her.
