Shandon Par Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Martin Hardie liked a bit of stalking. Wasn’t there a photographic reconstruction on here of him climbing his terrorised ex’s drainpipe? He’s a physically intimidating big lad so just have been horrendous for the poor girl having him on her case all the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know who he was back then, but Patrick Wilson turns up in absolutely everything. The one I'm talking about was more recent; I saw a trailer for it on a DVD, thought it was an interesting idea, then promptly forgot the title. I asked if it rang a bell with anyone on here a while back, but no joy. Frankly, the trailer gave away far too much anyway.

No, but weirdly enough I just saw Captivity again a few months ago, as I'd forgotten what it was. It's very similar to the film I'm thinking of, only without the (slightly) clever twist of the victim being more of a monster than the kidnapper - Captivity was a really straight ahead "woman is captured, tortured, and then escapes" story. Kermode's obviously being a bit OTT there, but he's pretty much spot-on about how bland and unimaginative that film was. Oh, erm, sorry for the spoilers. Pretend I'm wrong and she doesn't escape, although a "twist" like that is way to radical for the bland mind that created this...*checks notes*...two-time Academy Award nominee Roland Joffe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 I found out that a woman I work with had to leave her job and move house when she was 19 because she was stalked by a colleague. After she left, he did it to several other women and this week one of them got her brothers to severely beat him up. The guy used to creat hundreds of burner Instagram accounts to message her. His line was that he had £30,000 in the bank so she should go out with him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Hardie did indeed get convicted of stalking and harassing his ex, the fucking p***k that he is. My wife wasn't quite stalked but definitely sexually harassed by an older male colleague (twice her age at least) when she was about 17. He attempted to chat her up repeatedly, made loads of inappropriate comments and when she asked to be put on a different shift from him he poured a can of beans over her car and then his partner turned up at the work to scream at her for "trying to steal her man". The place they worked were horrendous to her about it and didn't deal with it well at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking about it, I worked with a guy when I lived in Inverness who couldn't go to a certain floor in teh building because his ex girlfriend worked there. We also had a staff member who he was told to train up and he was very possessive of telling her how to do things, it freaked her out a bit. Age gap was the same there. Some men in their early 30s shouldn't be around teenagers, it's as simple as that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 (edited) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-60139693 Matthew Hardy, from Northwich, was sentenced to nine years imprisonment in January following a lengthy campaign of cyberstalking and harassment against multiple women. He started by targeting women known to him locally, particularly from school, but quickly expanded. A six-part podcast investigation, which includes conversations with Hardy's victims and many others either affected by his behaviour or with personal experience of him, was released on Friday. It is a devastating listen but also quite sensitively conducted. The fifth episode, which is a relatively in-depth interview with Hardy's mother, is particularly impactful but also frustrating. It is worth a listen. Edited September 25, 2022 by DrewDon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would text her saying where she'd been and then send her a picture he'd taken clearly sitting in his car watching where she was going and what she was up to. This went on for a bit then finally stopped. My wife and I had been together for a few years and I had since gotten a new job. On my first day I had managed to get a look at the induction sheet which had a list of all the new starts and his name was on the sheet. Turns out it was indeed him. This guy knew who I was and knew me and his ex, my current wife, were together. My Mrs wasn't overly concerned, surprisingly, and said for me to just be civil with him and not get into any bother. Throughout the 3 years we worked together he never once asked about her and all in all he was a very nice pleasant guy so he had either given himself a shake or was one of those calculated nutter types. My money's on the latter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is worth a listen. I've listened to this. The guys dad phoned him up when he was seven and said "I won't be seeing you anymore", what the f**k? Who can do something like that? The interview with his mother was quite frustrating but kind of understandable. I do think people who are completely outwith social media and grew up offline can not really get the impact that this sort of offence can have. I do think the mother did seem to avoid the crux of what her son did - she made out like he was winding people up and playing a joke, when it was obviously much more serious. I understand why she thinks like this though, she's looking at him through a mothers eyes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
