Q: My friend is being blackmailed by her ex to get back with him. What can she do? He lives in Tn and she lives in Ga.
He has text message from her that could get her fired from her job for violating HIPAA. He was stalking her during October 2024 and when she filed a temporary protection order in TN in november he threatened that he would expose the information and get her fired if she did and so she missed the court date in fear of him. He has not left her alone and today he blackmailed her again telling her if she doesnt get back with him then he will expose the information to her boss and get her fired.
