Forum user faces complaints over rape and murder threats against women
A forum user has accumulated legal complaints for rape and murder threats aimed at a female user and her young daughter. Evidence has been submitted to the courts.
A user of an internet forum has accumulated legal complaints for threatening other participants with rape and murder, including a female user and her young daughter. He has himself claimed responsibility for stalking and sensual assault offences in public messages.
## Court complaints over threats to a user and her daughter
The events described affect a female forum user and her young daughter. According to the victim's own account, the rape and murder threats were not directed at her alone: the child was also targeted. The complainant says she has submitted evidence to the courts and is calling for the user to be banned from the platform.
The case is not an isolated one. According to the complainant, the same user had previously acted against a technician who raised a concern on the forum. The accumulation of accounts under different names is the reason the complainant is asking that he be identified and banned, and not just that the specific messages be deleted.
## The user claims responsibility for stalking and sensual assault offences
The most serious aspect of the matter is that the user himself has claimed in public messages to be the perpetrator of stalking and sensual assault offences. According to the complainant, this is recorded in the evidence submitted. This is not an external accusation: it was the person concerned himself who allegedly stated it in writing.
The complainant maintains that the user operates multiple accounts and has been behaving this way on the forum for some time. The screenshots submitted as evidence contain those threats and those self-incriminating statements.
## What can be done about threats on a forum
Rape and murder threats, even when made on a forum, are incivil offences and can be reported to the police or the courts. The platform is required to preserve messages and connection data when it receives a formal complaint. Banning the user is up to the forum's moderation, but it does not replace the judicial route.
In the face of any threat of this kind, the recommended course of action is to save timestamped screenshots, not delete the messages, and seek advice from a legal professional or the authorities.
