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 />
