She didn’t agree to a date with the stalker, so he took cruel revenge. He aimed straight at the face

Stalking is defined as malicious and repeated solicitation, harassment or persecution that threatens someone’s safety. In recent years, this problem has been talked about more and more often in our country. A story from a few years ago that happened in Greater Poland reminds us of how serious this threat can be. The case was publicized, among others, in the Poznań “Gazeta Wyborcza”.

Michał R. from Gostynin was looking for a partner on social networking sites. One day he came across Lidia’s profile. As the woman later admitted, she replied to his messages out of politeness. However, she was not interested in developing this relationship. The man didn’t give up. He was constantly looking for information about her. Moreover, he was becoming more and more involved in a virtual relationship that did not really exist. The woman even began to have the impression that Michał R. was following her.

She refused to go on a date with the stalker. He decided to take revenge

One day, a man invited a woman for Valentine’s Day dinner. However, she did not agree to go out together. This made him decide to take revenge on her. Three years ago, in February, he lurked near a place where Lidia often visited. He had a syringe filled with a corrosive substance. When the woman appeared nearby, he attacked her. He aimed straight at her face.

He expected that he might hurt her

Fortunately, the woman knew how to behave in such a situation. Immediately after the incident, she washed her face with cold water in the restaurant. Thanks to this, she probably saved her eyesight. Unfortunately, she suffered other serious injuries – including chemical burns to the conjunctiva and corneas of both eyes.

On November 4, 2022, the man was sentenced to six years in prison. In addition, he must pay Lidia PLN 50,000 in compensation. During his testimony, he said: – When I poured water on Lidka’s face, I knew what I was doing, I acted with full awareness. I expected that I might hurt her and that she might lose an eye.

You can’t negotiate with a stalker

In recent years, there has been more and more talk about the problem of stalking. How should the victim behave? Katarzyna Dacyszyn, who has had this type of experience herself, commented on this topic in an interview with our website.

– I advise you to make it clear at the beginning that we do not want such contact. This should be a very short and to the point message. Importantly, you cannot negotiate with a stalker because he feeds on contact with the victim. So I advise against entering into any discussions – said Dacyszyn.
