Description

This is Lindsey Goldrick Dean’s true ordeal of being the target in what became known as the UK’s longest running online harassment case – a Landmark case that ended up at the High Court of Justice in London, setting a precedent in law. Meeting someone like-minded through an online dating site seemed more possible than the unlikelihood of meeting someone in the offline, physical world. This seemed to be true as Lindsey Goldrick Dean starting dating the man whose emails had sparked her interest.

Having realised that in reality, he wasn’t quite the person that she had believed him to be, she ended it after four dates. She would never have imagined that this man would drag her into the darkness of his mind. Nothing could have prepared her for what he had in store.

Over the next 13 years, he got more creative, more sinister in his persecution of Lindsey, pushing as much as he could to the global audience of the internet.How could she get him to stop? Who could she turn to for help?’What do you want me to do?’ was the question that the people that were meant to help asked when she turned to them continuously, throughout the years. Finally, after over a decade of mental torture; having had her reputation, ambition, sense of safety controlled, there was a glimmer of hope.
