Hi,
I used this forum once before and got some good advice, now I'm back with a very bizarre situation....
Here it goes....
My old roommate abandoned our lease and moved out Oct 1st.
We are both males. The Landlord re-drafted a lease just for me and changed the locks, and was happy to let me stay. (and happy to see my ex-roommate go.. who was chronically late w/ rent and had loud parties, big drinker, etc etc.)
All was well and good until the other day he broke into my apt. and took a couple of things while I was not home. (noting of major value.) He even admitted this over the phone. I of course called the police and explained the situation. The Cops were very nice and said they would speak to him. And that if he were to come back again to call again and file charges.
Here is where the sexual harassment part comes in...
The ex-roommate suddenly sends me these text messages saying if the cops bother him he will have his female friend (I will call her Amanda.) file sexual harassment charges against me!
I asked him what in the world he was talking about, and he referred to an incident 3 months ago where Amanda and I were laughing and goofing around and I hit her in the bum with a towel.
Now it should be known that Amanda did not care at the time, I even apologized to her later that week, and she responded with a text that said "don't be silly, no worries." Amanda and I got along well she even gave me a free bed when she bought a new one, and I have seen her several times over the last 3 months and we are absolutely cool with each other.
I have saved all the ranting texts my ex-roommate has sent me.
Specifically one from his phone that says "If you have the cops bother me I will have Amanda file sexual harassment charges against you. You will be so fucked."
I cant imagine Amanda (who is a nice/level headed girl) would actually go along with this. I cant imagine she would involve herself.
But what if she does?
Am I in trouble? What do I do? Should I keep these threatening text messages?
I have no record whatsoever, I have never experienced anything like this. Please any advice would be greatly appreciated.
