This seems like more of an issue for your Guidance Counselor at Douchebag High than an issue for the Police.

she probably couldn't afford an attorney even if she had a leg to stand on. she can't do anything to you

Are you sure you didn't threaten or harass her? Because if you didn't, why are you worried that she would perceive it that way? Normally, nobody considers whether or not a normal conversation they had is going to end up as a case against them in court. Only people who walk shaky lines wonder whether or not they are going to get a harassment charge slapped on them.

Yes, she can take it to court and say you harrased her, but she probably can't convince a judge or a police officer that you did. I mean, really, if your boyfriend doesn't like her, why in the world would she think she has a chance with him?

It's only harrassment if you threatened her in some way or disturbed her privacy, like by calling her house or stalking her or something. Having a verbal disagreement with someone isn't against the law. And even if she DID want to take you to court, she would have to be able to document and prove everything you said to her that she has an issue with.


dudefungame
In no way could that be deemed harassment. If you had harassed her, you'd know it.


Just Ducky
People can take you to court for anything. They can make up all kinds of accusations if they want to simply harrass you. But as for WINNING a court battle, that's different. It's a matter of her proving in court what happened. In this case, a witness is needed.

How old is she? She'd have to have a parent or adult do it for her, and then she'd have to have proof. Sounds like she watches too much "Judge Judy".


The 3rd Nipple
Not really. It's considered a civil matter and police don't intervene really unless it gets violent.

Basically the police will file a report if anything and if it gets extreme, they can issue out a restraining order. If you (or her) disobey the restraining order, then you'll find yourself in trouble.

But mostly, they'll probably just tell her to grow up, it's a civil matter, and to ignore you and leave you alone.

That is unless she decides to sue you. Which she'd have to hire a lawyer and all that non-sense.

lol you are taking the whole verbal harrassment thing way too seriously. although someone could take it to court it would just be a big waste of money on their part to take you to court for such a reason.


Kat
If she gave people false info about you, she is liable to you for defamation or slander. That said, try not to have any confrontations with her, but let her know that you could file a suit against her. Of course, if and when you file, you have to show damages.


juicypuddynyc
well the courts would feel like it is wasting their time but before she can go to court to she has to have proof and now a days the courts are requiring that you now have police reports to back up your claim and I really doubt someone would go through all the headache and have to be prosecuted unless they are krazy so yeah she can take it to court and if you are telling the truth about what is going on yes you may even be able to get an order of protection on both sides so that she will stay away from you and you stay away from her using the court system to resolve a problem is a serious offense when you lie so think about that


mg54love
First off, she would have to call the police and tell them that she was being harassed by you and then the police would have to investigate the whole situation.

She could do something... If she lies and says you two harassed her. But I would think she would need someone to say they heard you harassing her...

It would be really hard for her to prove anything if there was only the three of you there. Obviously she would need someone to lie for her and say they heard and saw the whole incident.

Good Luck with the situation.


♪♫Steven♫♪
she can do whatever she wants...
but if you are telling the truth... I seriously doubt that would hold up in a court of law.


Mr Fact
Going by the matter what you have disclosed, there is no case for her to go to court. According to that what you have given, the matter is already closed and ends there. If there is any thing else, you only can know.

well I think any1 may be able to take anything to court, but it's highly unlikely she will. and this doesn't sound like the kind of thing that she'd win anyway. I wouldn't worry about it. If you & your bf both know what's going on then just ignore it.... she'll try harder then give up eventually. However if she doesn't then it's her that is being the bothersome person and YOU can file harrassment charges on her. Hopefully it won't go that far though....

Do you think the court system has time for petty kid arguments?


SamWiseGamgee
OK. Here is the deal.
She can say you guys harassed her. She can lodge a complaint. But to take matters to court involves money, time and energy. Now that is something that a person can stand upto if only they have all these OR if they are telling truth.
So I think you are gonna be fine.

If she interrupted your life then it can be done..

From what you have stated in your question there would be no case for harassment. Harassment has to be something that is done deliberately to hurt someone like posting totaling false information about them on the web or in newspapers that causes them some sort of harm, like loss of money.

Just telling her to leave you alone is not harassment.
