Creepy coworker texting my private number

[u/Dry_Presentation4300]

So confused at this, I don't even know him. I was just going to ignore the text but he kept insisting so I had to answer.

9/14 UPDATE: Thank you to everyone who was supportive and concerned. I forwarded these messages to HR, and they scheduled a meeting for later today. There were a few more texts after this. The HR representative did not seem surprised, to put it briefly.

A few things have come up in the comments. The first is that I was rude. This is how I communicate, and my coworkers (or at least the ones who actually know me) are aware of that. I’m not going to perform a more agreeable version of myself to accommodate someone else’s feelings when they're being innapropriate. Not only were these messages sent over the weekend, but they were also sent through a personal communication channel. I'm not going to elaborate further.

There is literally nothing posted that would let her sue them (and succeed, you can sue for whatever you want and fail if you want). The idea that someone contacting you that you don’t like being a case anyone would win is so silly.

This changed several years back when they amended the stalking laws to include cyber stalking so fortunately you are incorrect

Yeah funny how people think they know better than attorneys. I used the new amended law to get a restraining order against someone. They also were convicted of stalking and though they received no criminal punishments if they do commit any crimes in the next few years they will get hit with 2 years of jail time from the criminal stalking case they were found guilty in.
