“I don’t know what’s wrong with me, I can’t help but think of you, I invite you on a trip to New York.” At the beginning of 2019, an employee of a supermarket in a Vigo shopping center heard about it. These words from a customer who went there to shop with his wife, he logically ignored such an offer. this was but the beginning of the siege that the man subjected the woman to.. It started by observing and following him “over and over” on his way to work, and as time went on things got worse as 2020 progressed, showing up in the parking lot where the victim parked her car, or chasing her on her way to work.
The harassment was so extensive that it required police intervention and the case was settled in court. And after the hearing at the Vigo 2nd High Criminal Court, the Court just upheld the sentence given to this man. One year and one day with a fine of 2,700 Euros and a ban on approaching and communicating with the victim.. The punishment is for the offense of harassment. follow-upA typification introduced in the 2015 Penal Code reform that punishes those who follow someone else repeatedly and persistently, thereby drastically changing the development of their daily lives.
That’s what happened in this case, because the behavior of the convict created in the worker “state of suffering and fear”especially when he starts seeing his pursuer in the parking lot, the way he once appeared to him from behind a pillar, or when he follows him in his car through the streets of Vigo. There he became “seriously” annoyed and “feared”, so much so that the security guards at the mall where he worked escorted him to the garage and even arranged for another parking spot near the central box. this is “more enlightened” as stated in the sentence.
Surveillance
Before I start seeing him in the parking lot, woman had to put up with how he watched and watched her while she was working at the supermarket. Sometimes he would come with his wife, but when he went alone he would walk down the corridors, looking at the victim from afar, or stay in front of the boxes or a pillar where he had a perfect view of the area. , to control it while charging customers. While she was nervous there at her job, she was calmer when she was with her colleagues or when she could sneak into the shop. The alarm went off as the harassment and control went even further.
