LWP Alert: Sexual harassment-Criminal advances

Crouched on the edge of her bed, she scrolled the touch screen of her mobile phone as her hands trembled.

Abusive words, threats of physical abuse, violence in public, damage to her car — he was telling her how dirty, advanced, low, helpless and alone she was and how he would punish her for ignoring his attention. This was sexual harassment that she had heard happens to others and now it was happening to her.
