After being stalked for 15 years, one woman explains how she handled it

Roni Jacobson met her stalker at camp when she was in her early teens – he was a couple of years older. What started out as friendship turned into stalking, bullying and more. She dealt with him for 15 years as he wrote letters to her employers and impersonated her to her to her friends by getting a replica of her email address and phone number. Jacobson tells Megyn Kelly how she dealt with it, what she learned and discusses the essay she published that helped her take her power back.

I was on Megyn Kelly to talk about my 2016 cyberstalking article! It was surreal. I wish I got to talk more about what to do when the police don’t listen to you, but I’m really grateful to have been given a platform, which prompted me to think more about the experience. Definitely planning on picking this beat back up. More stories tk!
