Not long ago I began receiving unwanted images via text. They came from a prominent, well-known, and highly respected CBer. For this reason, I've hesitated to share my experiences. But now I know that I have to publish the screenshots. To avoid complicating the legal process I've redacted the sender's name.

It all started with harmless discussion on the board. I entertained his interest in pinball and even asked if I could text him some questions. Since then, it's spiraled out of control to the point where I'm receiving multiple texts per day. I've blocked his number multiple times, but he uses pre-paid burner phones and always has a different number. I've even sent the police to his last known whereabouts only to be told that there wasn't a home there, just cardboard boxes.

I hope that through sharing my story others will come forward as well.
