A friend of mine recently spent what she thought was an ample amount of time getting to know a local guy over the net. He had a more than respectable job and a search of the net actually showed him to be a responsible member of society with a respectable past. She went to meet him in a crowded store and three people at least had knowledge of his number and employer for safety. 

If only she had waited for her lawyer to do a backround check. As soon as he had her comfortable enough he suggested a short trip to another store a short distance away in his car so they could continue their conversation. They completed that side trip and returned to her car so she felt things 

were safe enough just long enough for him to dive down her shirt and expose himself while making her kiss him while attempting to make her fondle his genitals. It all happened in the space of a minute. Luckily he stopped and didn't have a chance tostop her from exitting the car. He did have the audacity to ask if she wanted to meet for lunch at a later date however. We have come to  

find out that he has a record that includes menacing, stalking, assault,and violation of restraining orders.  Lesson here is get a lawyer and have whoever you find looked up quietly, and if getting shut of them is prudent do so with no communication whatsoever. You do not owe this person anything. My friend now has to be reassigned to a different unit where she works because she told him all about her job and may have to change the school her kids go to because she also mentioned that. Get a lawyer and use it.
