Asking for a friend that's afraid and nervous about the issue. Has anyone here dealt with harassment of private information like addresses, conversations and phone numbers demanding money after you cut them off. What can be done, it's obviously a crime, and text messages prove that much. They feel as though police are not going to handle the issue privately enough, any lawyers that handle things like that. The person disappeared for a month and recently started, making threats and demanding money again. Any advice?
