Trenton, MI asked in Criminal Law for Pennsylvania

Q: We've been getting 100s of texts in one day, texts saying untrue things about me. What can we do?

We're getting messages from someone we know saying she knows we're home, she sees me outside. She has said I abuse kids, says I'll never see the light of day. We tried to get a pfa but they said I can't because I don't have a relationship with her. We went to the magistrate and got a no contact order today but the judge said a lot of the slander and other stuff isn't for the magistrate. We literally have pages printed out of numerous days she texted him over 100 times. She also posted on Facebook saying she'll pay for my info (I have it all printed out)

Ideas? We're in Pa.

We originally filed harrassment and the judge stated no contact order.

A: I agree with Mr. Hall your first call should be to the local police. If they cant help a private criminal complaint should be filed.
