My ex posted ads saying I was a prostitute and men started turning up at my door
A woman claims strangers were turning up at her door after her ex allegedly posted advertisements selling her as a prostitute.
A single mother claims advertisements selling her as a prostitute, intimate videos and her address were posted online while she was tormented by her ex for months.
Gia Frino told A Current Affair that strangers were contacting her with questions about her “services” and she even had some turn up at her door.
Ms. Frino said she dated the man for about 18 months after they met online but alleged the torment only started when they broke up.
She claimed she was first hit with a barrage of phone calls and messages.
“They were extremely aggressive and personal to me. They were threats either to myself, my family, even my dog,” Ms. Frino told ACA.
Then, she alleged, the advertisements selling her as a prostitute began and her personal details, including her address, were shared online.
“He sent me an email and text messages saying, ‘have a great night, lots of bookings, getting lots of requests’” she claimed.
“I managed to get it [the advertisement] taken down but already five different people had come to the house.”
She said intimate videos she was not even aware had been recorded were posted on the internet.
Ms. Frino said she went to the police, who took out an apprehended domestic violence order on her ex, but she believed they did not take her reports seriously.
She said the attacks went on and she was met with 726 phone calls, 417 Facebook messages, 107 posts and 23 fake social media accounts before police arrested her ex.
“The last message was about an hour before they got him and the police officer said, ‘I just saw his phone and I can’t believe what you had to deal with,’” she said.
NSW Police said it was unable to comment as the matter was before the courts.
“NSW Police takes all reports of domestic violence seriously. Reports of domestic and family-related crime or abuse can be made by contacting or attending your local police station,” a statement said.
