Followed Home, What Can I Do?
Apologies if this is the wrong place to post this, it doesn’t really seem like a legal issue but also a bit serious for any other subs I could think of. This is a bit of a long shot anyways, but I figured it was worth trying.
So I believe I was recently followed home in Cambridge, once I got near to my house he asked me out and asked to kiss me when I refused. We were alone on a quiet street, he had clearly followed me, knew roughly where I was living and was much taller than me so I felt uncomfortable and unsafe. I am quite sure I was followed and not just stopped, I’ve never seen this man before, we were in a small cul de sac and the way I walked home is not a route anybody would normally take as it takes twice as long as the normal route.
I’m not sure what to do. He clearly didn’t understand how creepy this was or how to interpret social cues and had some abnormal speech patterns, so I think he is likely disabled and don’t believe he fully understood what he was doing. I don’t think the right course of action here is to report it if it could get him in trouble, but I do want somebody to explain to him how this is inappropriate though, before someone else is followed home too and made to feel unsafe, but I have no idea how I’d go about it. Would anybody know what services can help with this?
