A: In Ohio, if someone is harassing you through persistent texts, calls, or stalking, you have several options. Begin by documenting every instance of harassment, including texts, calls, dates, times, and content. This evidence can be crucial for any legal action. Consider reporting this behavior to the police. They can advise on possible criminal charges or measures to protect yourself. Additionally, you may obtain a Civil Protection Order (CPO) from your local county courthouse. This order can legally prevent the harasser from contacting you. Always prioritize your safety; if you feel in immediate danger, call the police. For personalized legal advice tailored to your unique circumstances, it's advisable to consult with an attorney.
