Q: My ex-boyfriend and I broke up last Feb 2016 and now he is back, stalking me at my workplace and sending me threat messages. I am afraid to file a complaint with the police as it might just land me into trouble since he is an ex-boyfriend. Please advice. Thank you.

Q: Hi Sir, One of my office mates was harassing me mentally and physically since 2019. He forced me to have a relationship with him and cheated on my husband. He forced me to clean his house, cook food for him, sleep with him and also use my money for shopping. I really need help.

Q: Hi, I have an ongoing harassment issue with a former colleague. She created fake Facebook accounts and sent messages to my family and friends accusing me of adultery and threatening. At that time, I did not know who she was as all the accounts were fake, however, yesterday she sent a package to my family with a document of my photos, WhatsApp messages, and allegations against me. She also sent me abusive emails for months which included threats of defamation and threats against my family, but I did not reply. She bombarded my employer pretending to be my wife, requesting my HR records. I had to leave my jobs because of embarrassment. I decided to report her to the police, however, because of work commitments, I am in the UK and will only return in January. The police have advised me to return and file a case. I would like two services: 1. Send a cease and desist letter to the person harassing me to stop. 2. Represent me whilst I am abroad to pursue this case.
