He simultaneously used all of them to<br />

post about my work and my thoughts –<br />

and to watch everything I was saying<br />

in real time.<br />

After 8 weeks, I submitted a cease and<br />

desist letter which was responded to<br />

with arrogance and a complete denial<br />

of any wrong doing. The reply even<br />

argued that they would not be looking<br />

into it because I had no evidence.<br />

However, I had 22 pages of evidence<br />

and had logged over 280 posts in 8<br />

weeks from the four accounts so I<br />

decided to log a formal complaint<br />

against the employee.<br />

I submitted the 22 pages of evidence<br />

and eventually got a phone call from<br />

the person ‘investigating’ the employee<br />

to say that the employee had admitted<br />

watching me and posting about me,<br />

that he was angry about what was<br />

being talked about (CSE films being<br />

unethical).<br />

He also told his employer that other<br />

employees and professionals were<br />

involve and he didn’t act alone.<br />

Once I had blocked his accounts, he<br />

enlisted others to help him. He also<br />

told his employer that he used my<br />

twitter feed on my website to watch me<br />

after he realised he was blocked.<br />

“I had 22 pages of evidence and had logged<br />

over 280 posts in 8 weeks.”<br />

The complaint was eventually accepted<br />

but only after a number of difficult<br />

conversations with MESMAC staff.<br />

The CEO refusing to investigate<br />

himself because he was compromised<br />

in the first email which said I had no<br />

evidence and copied him in.<br />

I was repeatedly told that I couldn’t<br />

prove the employee was watching me,<br />

even before they had seen the<br />

evidence.<br />

During this process, I was sent the<br />

workers conduct policy which<br />

contained the clauses allowing sex,<br />

personal relationships and exchange of<br />

personal details with clients.<br />

I sent it to a group of experts in the<br />

field and asked for their advice.<br />

I sent it to the LSCB and reported the<br />

policy as unethical – especially in the<br />

light of their behaviour I was<br />

experiencing from the employees.<br />

It was clear to me that the organisation<br />

were preparing to protect the<br />

employee right from the beginning.<br />
