Tampa resident sparks outrage after harassing women

Publish date: 2024-04-27

A Tampa resident is making headlines for harassing a woman he met in his gym. As per a video on Twitter, he asked the woman for her number. After she gave him the number, the man reportedly left and subsequently began texting her.

Update: The case related to this incident has now been expunged, i.e. removed from public records.

Since the woman was still finishing her workout, she did not respond to his texts. This made him furious and he allegedly began calling her repeatedly.

The woman also shared a few screenshots of his texts, where he was seen messaging her things like:

“I want to date and financially support you.”

Such texts made the woman block the number, thus infuriating the man even more. He then called her from an unknown number and started abusing her. He even blackmailed her, following which he began saying that she did not want to date him because he was black. He also claimed that he is in a relationship and is looking for something casual.

A Twitter account, which uploaded a video explaining the incident, also showed another clip of a different woman accusing the same man of stalking and harassing her online. The account concluded by alerting women in Tampa about this man.

Seeing the video, social media users were left outraged. One Twitter user commented on the same, calling the man a "serial killer."
