i’m scared for my safety after rejecting a wealthy guy
i moved to france to pursue my studies and am currently a second year law student. i am 20 years old and have been living here for approximately one year. last year i entered a healthy and committed relationship with my boyfriend and we have been very happy together.
at the beginning of this academic year, an exchange student (25M) developed a strong interest in me. he comes from a highly influential and wealthy family, with his father being a well-known politician and his mother a lawyer. he also has a reputation among students for using his family’s influence and resources to intimidate or damage the lives of others.
after i indirectly rejected his advances because i am committed to my boyfriend and had no romantic interest in him, his behavior toward me became increasingly hostile and disturbing.
since then i have experienced repeated harassment, intimidation, and targeted humiliation. This has included mocking my french accent, making racist remarks (since i am south asian), spreading false plagiarism accusations to professors that negatively affected my grades, and following me home at night. his friends created a fake instagram account where they posted unflattering old photos of me and rumors were spread claiming i was only dating my boyfriend for financial reasons.
in addition, anonymous reports were submitted to student services falsely claiming that I was experiencing psychological instability and eating disorders. i was temporarily banned from my favorite coffee shop after false accusations that i had stolen something there. i also began receiving repeated late-night calls around 3-4 am from unknown numbers on which he would remain silent for several seconds before hanging up.
the harassment escalated further through group chats where memes mocking me were shared publicly, as well as a spotify playlist titled “For the girl who said no,” containing dark and disturbing songs and lyrics that was circulated in university group chats. one of his friends also “accidentally” slammed a heavy door on my hand resulting in a fractured finger, not apologizing and denying any acts of violence.
i have attempted to seek help through university administration and law enforcement, but no meaningful action has been taken. despite my efforts to distance myself and report the situation, the threats, intimidation, and blackmail continue. my family does not have influence or connections capable of protecting me from someone with this level of social and political power.
the ongoing harassment has severely affected my mental health, academic performance and sense of safety. i feel trapped and powerless.
any advice would be appreciated, i need immediate help, please.
