Students plan ambush for pervert-stalker
Shin Min Daily News
A group of students ambushed a stalker who has been harassing a fellow undergrad for a year.
The harassment had come to light when the girl, a year-two business student at the Singapore Management University (SMU) told her friends about the stalker.
According to her, the stalker is a man in his 50s who claims to be an engineer.
The man has been stalking her for the past year after somehow obtaining her contact number. The man also stalks her on Facebook and Twitter.
He has been sending the girl disgusting messages and has even been asking for sex. Fed up with the harassment, the girl and her friends set up a trap for the stalker.
The group even called reporters from The New Paper to witness the trap being sprung. They asked the man to come out to meet at 4pm at the taxi stand near the SMU Business School Library.
The man arrived at about 4.30pm and texted the girl, "I'm here. I'm wearing a polo t-shirt and blue uncle shorts." (He was actually wearing a blue polo tee and shorts.)
Some of the girl's friends approached the man while others stayed out of sight. They asked the man his identity and his reason for being there.
But the man did not answer their questions and only murmured, "sorry, sorry". Undeterred, the group called the man's number and his phone rang, exposing his identity.
The man tried to escape on his motorcycle but was quickly surrounded by the students, who also pulled the key from his ignition. The students swiftly alerted the school's security officers and the police to nab the man.
However, when the police arrived, an officer only asked the man some questions before letting him go. The students were left puzzled as they were hoping the police will arrest the man for his acts of harassment.
It is understood that the police will not be pursuing this case.
