According to the CPS, three women have come forward to police since early May this year, reporting that they have received messages threatening violence from a man they met on a dating site.

The first woman said she recently met and interacted with a man online. When she didn’t respond for several hours, the man allegedly threatened physical harm in a text message. She then blocked his number, but received more threatening text messages from two other numbers.

A second woman said she met a man on a dating site and later met him in person. She later received threatening text messages from him, allegedly saying he will break into her home and harm her.

A third woman told police she allegedly received similar threatening messages from a man with the same description who she met on a dating site, police said.
