Agree

I have a co-worker who recently went through a harassment / stalking case.

It sounds like:
1. Your DD was the victim of an assault from a client of her company.
2. She settled (?) with her employer as the employer chose to keep the client [over protecting employees?]
3. The settlement was all an agreement between her and her employer but did not involve police?

Now 2 years later she gets a text and is concerned.

Based on what my co-worker lived through with aggressive stalking after a harassment case, I highly recommend that she keeps records and file a police complaint. There needs to be a police record - even if they say they can't do anything.

Do not have her step father talk to the person. Talk to the police 1st. Block the number. Make sure that her privacy settings on all things are set at the right levels.

NP. Are you saying that being asaulted to the point of being admitted to a hospital is petty?

Exactly. Why hasn't he been blocked from her phone?

Right now, she blocked the number, but he could just contact her via a different number if he wanted.

Personally, I’d wait to see if he does it again, since that looks more intentional, but she’s rattled understandably.

Also Have her make a screenshot with the texts, then print the screenshots and you keep them just in case.

block

Why did she choose not to press charges?

Why does she not know if something was signed? And she should have blocked his number from the get-go.

All of this sounds kind of fishy.

She should also block his number so he can't reach her. I don't see why she has to change her number.

I doubt there is a no contact agreement. How do you even write something like that for a client of your employer?

This is PP - it doesn't have to be a written contract, or even really exist. She just has to send a scary lawyer letter that makes him think there are consequences if he sends her texts or otherwise gets in touch.

Do not have anyone other than an attorney contact him. Block his number. Perhaps have an attorney contact him and request that he not contact her again, and ask him to delete her contact information. If he contacts her again, you'll know it was intentional and you can see about getting a restraining order. A lawyer can assist you with this.

You need a legally enforceable restraining order from the person himself. How is a former employer supposed to enforce this? Go to the police or file for an order in court.

Keeping a record will not help much at this point, but yes, you should do it.

DO NOT HAVE THE STEPFATHER GO TALK TO THIS PERSON. He can say he is being harassed.

keep a record of the contact and keep his number blocked.
