    i looked at the statue of limitations, and the way that i take
    it, i can still press charges. but, evry lawyer, and cop says
    that its to late.
    heres what has happened.....
    My fiancee and I have been harassed and stalked by his
    ex-girlfriend who he has 2 children with, since June 2004. she
    would follow us to
    the bar ( in mt. pleasant), to Walmart (in mt. pleasant), our
    jobs (
    all 3 jobs in mt. pleasant), and also to my parents house (in
    alverton
    (where at the time we both lived)). she had always threatened to
    take his
    children away, so for the longest time we did nothing, and just
    refused
    to go anywhere. she has threatened us on several occasions that
    she had
    people after us, and to watch our backs. i have been terrified,
    and
    extremely paranoid to even go into my backyard since she has
    been seen
    sitting by my house (up to 200 yards away, and as close as 60
    feet to my
    home). from her place of residence to all the places listed
    above is
    about a 45 min. drive out of her way.
    when he had moved in my parents house he had to leave some
    of his
    possessions at a friends house. his ex later went in and took
    his TV,
    and placed it in her house. at the same time his TV was taken,
    DVDs, and
    clothes came up missing also (never found).
    She has also sent multiple gifts by this time for him.
    She had went on vacation to Ocean City MD, and had called
    our
    house (in alverton PA, on June 15th 2005) and stated that her
    house had
    been broken into, and that my fiancee was to blame. she then
    said that she
    had called the state police and they would be there to question
    us.
    they never showed, and there was no report of a break in.
    On July 26 2005, she had come to pick up my fiancee to
    visit his
    girls (she showed up with 2 car loads of people, which had me
    frightened) while they went on a quick trip to Walmart (mt.
    pleasant pa). when
    they had left Walmart, instead of bringing him home
    as "planned", she
    made a quick turn, and took him to mammoth park (pa), and
    refused to bring
    him home (is this kidnapping?). he had to find his own way back.
    She
    had also told the both of us that she was doing all that she
    could to
    keep him away from his daughters.
    On July 5 2005, she had filed a PFA on my fiancee. (court
    hearing
    was July 11 2005) we were denied counsel, and weren't allowed to
    defend
    our-selves, and had lost the case. the PFA is effect until
    January 11
    2007. (we had tried to get a PFA on her previous to this, but
    were
    laughed at and turned away)
    We have contacted the state police July 8th 2005, and gave
    our
    statement. the officer that we had spoken to had told us that if
    any of
    this continues to give him a call, and she would be arrested
    (that it was
    a type of "stay away order"). She started the harassing phone
    calls,
    and sending cards to my fiancee in August 2005 - November 2005.
    we
    called the police, and they said that there is nothing that they
    can do.
    (the officer that we had spoken with July 8 2005 no longer works
    with
    them.) they said to get a PFA on her.
    At the custody hearing (August 24 2005) we had been granted
    supervised visits. we just recently started them Feb. 7, 2005,
    and are now
    afraid that everything is going to start up again. the PFA only
    keeps him
    away from her, she can still do what she wants.
    We have about 8 witnesses (total) to these accounts. we
    don't have
    money for a lawyer. what can be done if anything? how long do we
    have
    to do anything about this before its to late? are there any
    other riminal acts in these incidents?
