Sweet Anita outraged after stalker released by police Twitch personality \u201cSweet Anita\u201d boasts a dedicated fanbase thanks to her witty humor, easygoing personality, and acute Tourette Syndrome \u2013 but one of her fans is taking their enthusiasm too far. While many internet stars receive their fair share of online harassment, Anita revealed that she\u2019s been dealing with a stalker in the real world, as told in a Tweet on November 7. According to Anita, her stalker had \u201cspent hours\u201d outside of her home, slept behind her property, and had even assaulted her, allegedly harassing her for over a month before being detained by local law enforcement. The police have caught and detained my stalker, so I’m having to cancel tonight’s stream. I’ll be in the station all night giving a statement and evidence, but hopefully I’ll finally be safe and able to stream by sunday at 8PM GMT \u2014 Sweet Anita (@Tweet4nita) November 7, 2019 Sadly I have had a fair amount of online stalkers. But this one was IRL, he spent hours outside my house, he even slept behind my house, and managed to assault me. I’ve been harassed for a month now and I’m relieved that something might be done about it. \u2014 Sweet Anita (@Tweet4nita) November 7, 2019 However, it doesn\u2019t look like the offender will remain in police custody, nor even receive a proper punishment, as the streamer told in a series of outraged Tweets the very next day. Despite his abhorrent behavior, Anita claimed that her stalker was released with naught but a \u201ccaution\u201d \u2013 a disturbing development, considering that he\u2019s reportedly moved within a four-minute distance of her home. 600https:\/\/twitter.com\/Tweet4nita\/status\/1177830355451224064?s=20\u201cThe stalker was caught and detained last night,\u201d Anita wrote. \u201cHe had a knife on him. After taking my screenshots, recordings, a witness statement of the assault from me and a friend, AND having his confession to harassing me, he\u2019s been released with a caution.\u201d The streaming star went on to express exasperation with the police\u2019s response to the matter, writing, \u201cI\u2019m very used to the lack of protection from the police at this point. I guess I\u2019ll have to get used to seeing him around, too.\u201d He has also gone from planning a short visit my town, to moving to a place 4 minutes from me permanently. I’m very used to the lack of protection from the police at this point, I guess I’ll have to get used to seeing him around too. \u2014 Sweet Anita (@Tweet4nita) November 8, 2019 Needless to say, Anita\u2019s fanbase is wracked with worry over the ordeal, urging the broadcaster to make a bigger stink out of the matter for her own safety. \u201cYou actually need to blow this up, out of proportion, make it huge,\u201d one fan replied. \u201c\u2026if someone is honestly stalking you and showing signs of being harmful, you\u2019re in danger, too. Many [times] these things are left alone, and someone gets hurt.\u201d You actually need to blow this up, out of proportion, make it huge, go to everyone, every media you can think of, if someone is honestly stalking you and showing signs of being harmful you\u2019re in danger, too many these things are left alone, and someone gets hurt. Stay safe :purple_heart: \u2014 eire:four_leaf_clover: (@eireBTW) November 8, 2019 \u201cIt\u2019s so bizarre how little concern there is for circumstances such as this,\u201d another Tweeted. \u201c\u2026At the very least, you should seek a restraining order.\u201d It’s so bizarre how little concern there is for circumstances such as this. To be fair it’s hard to concretely establish a crime, but we have to figure out something we can do. At the very least you should seek a restraining order. \u2014 Kind of Annoying Guy (@Cataphract) November 8, 2019 Anita has yet to speak further about the incident at the time of writing this article, but fans are hopeful that the situation will be properly resolved sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
