I'd like opinions on this situation. It's all real, as insane as it might sound at times.
A woman I know (22, attends a popular US college), we will call her Mary, was at a friend's house one day. We will call her Sally. The friend lives with 3 other people, another girl (also friends with Mary, we will call her Laura), and a man and a woman who are a couple. They have been friends for years, and were hanging out. The man comes downstairs as Mary and her friend Laura are watching television. He watches for a bit, and leaves. This is where the situation starts.
The man, we will call him Jim, texts Marry, who is in a relationship, as is Jim. He asks if she wants to become **** buddies with him. She replies no, and thinks nothing more of it. She tells Laura who says he asked her 2 months ago, but she said no. Mary calls and tells me and I told her to tell the girlfriend when Jim was doing, since it was the right thing to do. Mary tells Laura she is going to tell, and Laura tells her not to, because it turns out Laura actually did accept his offer and they had oral sex a few times, so that was her reason to hide the truth.
Anyway, Mary tells the girlfriend. The girlfriend calls Mary a liar, and Jim starts texting Mary things like "you are a slut" and "you should have said yes" and "you are going to get what you deserve". I instruct Mary to tell him to stop texting, or she will pursue criminal action on him. He says "go ahead". The next day Mary goes to the police, but due to the lack of physical evidence (only the texts), they can't file a restraining order. Mary also blocks Jim's number.
That was several weeks ago. Today Mary was visiting family, get a call from her landlord that there was a break in. Someone had broken into her condo, which is broken into an upstairs and downstairs. The person who broke in used an axe to break down her neighbours door, took one step in, and turned around and went into her place. The man then entered her place, and walked around moving things. He never entered the bedroom. He did have a glass of water and the police said he left "bodily fluid" on the desk (either saliva or semen, probably semen). The man stole nothing from either condo.
The man was seen fleeing the scene holding an item (gun or the axe). So, Mary calls me and tells me and I mention Jim, and she says he sounds like the man fleeing the scene. Mary then gets a text from Sally (not the one who accepted the **** buddy offer) saying "he did it, I'm coming over, need to get out of this situation".
Anyway, I told Mary that she should go to the police and file for attempted murder. He has a history of hostility towards her and broke into her place with a weapon with no intention of stealing. So, either he knew she wasn't home in which case he was watching her, or he didn't know she was home, and broke in, armed with a weapon and aroused. Attempted rape, assault, murder, all seem possibile with someone that unstable.
What do you guys make of it?
