The man's identity was not released by police. Lawyer Fabio Hypolitto, who has no relation to the case, explained to g1 that the crime of stalking is provided for in article 147-A of the Penal Code. The practice occurs when someone repeatedly persecutes another person, threatening the victim's physical or psychological integrity. Stalking: understand what this crime is, know how to identify it and see how to report it Hypolitto added that the crime can happen both in person and online. As a previous g1 report showed, the main characteristic is repetition, but the ways in which harassment can occur are varied, for example: Many messages from the same person on different occasions, even signaling that they do not want to have that contact; Many calls in a row; Comments, mainly with negative content, on publications made on social networks; The stalker can create fake profiles on social networks to monitor what you post if you are blocked; Family members and/or friends begin to be followed by the stalker, or by the same fake profiles; The victim realizes that someone is always in the same places and times as you; The victim receives comments that show that that person has seen you or knows about your routine, such as saying exactly what clothes you were wearing or a photo of something of you or a place you have been. 🚨 ATTENTION: The term "stalking" may seem banal because it is used to refer to the practice of snooping on people's posts. Curiosity, in itself, does not constitute any type of crime.

According to him, in May 2024, he received his first messages on WhatsApp in which the author said he was "beautiful" and "hot". "I received some strange messages from an unknown number. At first, I didn't think much of it, but after the third message I decided to investigate who the author was", recalled the former student.
