Eyes Everywhere All the Time: cyberstalking and me

"It was terrifying, and I was really constantly worried about what is this gonna escalate to?" Those are the words from Charlotte Hooper, a victim of cyberstalking and now head of operations at the Cyber Helpline. Whilst studying at university, Charlotte was told that her personal photos – just random selfies – had been shared on an adult website, some of which from when she was just 16. Later, she found out that her cyberstalker, who had posted the images, lived just 20 minutes away from her. Charlotte tells Dr Rebecca Whittington, online safety editor at Reach, about the impact of this online harassment, and the need for better legal protection and police training to support victims.
