| Timothy Stinson |
With more than 800 million Facebook users, it probably comes as no surprise that a few of 'em are creepy, can't get over being dumped, lonely and delusional stalker-types. Well, in the Houston-area suburb of Spring, Timothy Stinson is one of them. This week, authorities in Harris County have charged Stinson with stalking his ex-girlfriend.
While the relationship between the two ended in 2007, the victim says Stinson has harassed her ever since.Court documents state that Stinson sent the victim several text messages, threatening her and her daughter. He’s also accused of leaving threatening voicemails on the victim’s sister’s phone, saying he was going to burn down her house.
Feeling as though his typical stalking efforts were not doing the trick, Stinson turned to social media.
According to a criminal affidavit, many of his threats were posted on Facebook.
Once his creepy fingers hit the keyboard, Facebook provided an avenue for the the harassment to go public. Court documents state that Stinson posted the victim’s picture and called her a whore. The victim said Stinson also posted her father’s photo, captioning it with his home address, phone number and a string of insults, including the assertion that he was a "lonely old drunk." Then, the victim said Stinson posted photos of her sisters, posting a home address, phone number, work information and derogatory comments like "she puts out" and "she looks like a troll."
The victim told investigators she feared for her life and for the safety of her loved ones.
Stalking charges were filed against Stinson on November 1, 2011, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. As of Thursday afternoon, he was not in custody. So, if you run across Stinson on Facebook, DO NOT HIT THE LIKE BUTTON! Instead, call the authorities.
