    This, coupled with your employers on-going inability to sort out concerns suggests they are letting you down badly. Are they competent to be operating this service? Are management even qualified?

    Since the OP is being threatened and harrassed she is a victim of crime.

    Harassed, yes, threatened? hard sale from what they have posted.

    Speak to your employer, ring the police and ask them to have a word with the gentleman to stay away from you. If they don't take action, complain.

    If he doesn't stop speak to your council about attaining a restraining order.

    OP used the word threatened - both in the OP and in the thread title. Harrassed was 'my' word!
    Anyway, the father of the person accusing has been into where I work 5 times and threatened and verbally abused me for 'advocating sex offences'.

    I know it is what she used, but her examples, which it would be reasonable to be the worst examples, don't include any threatening behaviour. 'I'm going to tell on you' isn't threatening behaviour.

    Maybe the OP has been circumspect about the threats; maybe they're not as menacing as 'threatening' implies. Possibly she's being careful in what she is posting as it's an ongoing case.

    But you make a fair point.

    Nevertheless the fact that he's in there 'discussing' this case with her at all is not acceptable.

    When a father does something like this to someone not directly involved, it kind of says OP's client is indeed a rapist. OP should show some understanding instead of trying to make this father to be some sort of violent person, just for threatening to go to the daily mail.


    How could he be 100% sure one way or the other (unless heactually saw any rape being committed)?
