Alexandra Scarlett's life was made hell for two years after she fell victim to an obsessed cyber stalker who bombarded her with hundreds of text, Facebook and Myspace messages a week after she rejected his advances. Jason Smith would professehis love before threatening to kill Alexandra, rape her mum and aunt and shoot her dad, and tracked her down despite her blocking his access and changing her number 40 times. Pretty student Alexandra, 20, first met Jason, 23, on a night out with two friends in 2007 but he began bombarding her with texts saying how much he liked her. Alexandra from Cheshire told him she wasn’t interested at all and asked him to stop calling her. But, although they’d only met for a couple of hours, Jason refused to take the hint, and began texting and calling her all hours of the day and night, leaving up to 30 messages a day telling her he loved her. Alexandra stopped answering her phone, but Jason’s messages took a sinister turn as he began threatening her family – threatening to kill her dad. Shaken, Alexandra believed the messages were the result of Jason’s bruised ego and would calm down, but days turned into weeks and Jason’s harassment continued, as he branded her mum a slut when she said her daughter wasn’t interested. Alexandra contacted her mobile provider to block Jason’s number, but he continued to call her via other people’s numbers, until she reported him to police who  warned him to stop contacting her. For a few months, Alexandra’s life returned to normal as Jason didn’t know where she lived, or even her surname, so was unable to contact her. But when she logged onto her My Space account, after not checking it for a few weeks, she was horrified to discover page after page of messages from Jason who had searched every Alexandra on Myspace until he found her picture. Alexandra saved all of the messages to pass onto police and shut down her account before opening a new one. But now Jason had her full name, plus the names of her friends so he was able track her down again. Already terrified, Alexandra logged onto her Facebook account to discover that Jason had found her on there too, using her profile picture and had begun sending her messages, again telling her he loved her. Again she was forced to close her account down and set up a private page, but Jason had begun sending messages to her friends who had already accepted his friend requests. In a creepier twist, Jason had saved Alexandra’s profile picture and used it to set up a fake Facebook page pretending to be her and sending abusive messages to her friends, accusing them of sleeping with her boyfriend. Alexandra was soon being stopped in the street with people asking what her problem was and giving her abuse. Jason sent messages to family members claiming to be her boyfriend and saying he’d lost her phone number and eventually she decided to move out of the area, changing her number again, and continuing to pass his messages on to police. Jason sent a message to Alexandra’s mum, threatening to hurt her if she didn’t contact him - with enough evidence to act, police were finally able to arrest him. But, furious at the police involvement he broke his bail conditions to contact Alexandra again and was remanded in custody, charged with harassment. He was sentenced to 12 months in jail, suspended for two years, after admitting harassment and was given a lifetime restraining order banning him from contacting Alexandra after a judge said he needed treatment for an ''erotic mania'' psychological disorder. Now Alexandra is trying to get her life back on track, but is still reeling from the effects of her ordeal, feeling wary and on edge all the time. Her story featured in Take It Easy magazine after Alexandra spoke to Cavendish Press.
