Someone wants to sue me

I was helping a girl who told me she got sent a dick pic (she’s 14) it was not contested. I messaged him and said I would like it if he didn’t do that and he said back to me your making false accusations and that he is going to sue me and he said that he sent to the girl as a joke do you like dick. I said to him it was a miss understanding and that he is taking it to far. He harassed me over Snapchat and i blocked him I’m so scarred he is actually going to sue me, he said he has already spoke to his lawyers and I said that it was a miss understanding and that I was sorry. He said it was to late and that his lawyers are going to call my parents tomorrow to press charges and go to court. I’m honestly really scarred, my parents will be so mad at me and I haven’t done anything I don’t think. I don’t know what to do. Help

hey there and welcome!
going off your post, even if he was going to try and sue you it wouldnt be much of a case. He is the one who started sending inappropriate pictures (a minor might i add) and inappropriate questions, and he harrassed you. All you have said is to stop which is absolutly fine!

Perhaps if you are too worried, legalaid gives free legal advice so your welcome to ask them for help as well if you need but i think you have to be 18 to go without your parents.

Hey @Chloe_green2002, firstly, well done for helping someone else. I can only imagine how stressed you're feeling right now, so it's important to also look after yourself.

 

I'm really not sure what he'd sue you for, especially if he sent a sexual message to someone under 16.. that would probably backfire on him, and it doesn't sound like you've done anything wrong at all. 

 

Just to make sure I understand the sequence of events, is this what happened:

•He sent a 14 girl a dick pic, apparently as a joke

•You asked him not to do that

•He said that it was a joke and threatened to sue you

•He harassed you over snapchat

 

If that's what happened, I doubt he'll actually go to court with it, because he'd then have to admit to a crime... It is very possibly an empty threat, especially since the girl you were helping may be able to take him to court.

Even if he is dumb enough to go to court, it is possible to get free legal advice from various places online (make sure it's reliable, try government websites first).

 

Either way, I'm sure you're going to be okay, and the RO forums have lots of people who are willing to support you.

Thank you so much, I turned out to be an empty threat. I asked my brother for help in the end and he messaged him and told him to stop assaulting me or he will go to the police, thanks for the advice 💛

You're welcome @Chloe_green2002!
I'm glad it was just an empty threat. I wish I could say the same for at school, but that doesn't matter.

Hey @Chloe_green2002.
I'm so sorry to hear that has happened to you.

What you did was the right thing to do, and you should congratulate yourself for helping that girl. Funnily enough, I'm 14 as well. But I don't have social media.
I completely agree with @Tiny_leaf, as this will possibly backfire on him if he does go to court with it. Otherwise, the girl can take him to court about it.

I will quickly mention that I don't have any experience with this, but I'll try to help in any way you need.

I'm here for you if you need to talk. 🙂
