Hello, I am getting harassed by my ex-fiancé soon to be the mother of his child. She's been coming by my house and sending an appropriate emails to my job and also telling lies about me, hurting her unborn child. Because I work for a very well known company our emails get monitor 24/7 and now I have to explain to my boss about these emails. I like to know what can I do?

I would suggest contacting a Family Law attorney right away. You can find one using the "Find a Lawyer" Tab above. They will be able to guide you through the possibility of getting a protective order against your ex fiance and also inform the correct authorities if she is threatening to hurt the unborn baby.

I agree - harassment is a crime. Penal Law section 240.30 Aggravated harassment in the second degree states that : " A person is guilty of aggravated harassment in the second degree when, with intent to harass, annoy, threaten or alarm another person, he or she: 1. Either (a) communicates with a person, anonymously or otherwise, by telephone, or by telegraph, mail or any other form of written communication, in a manner likely to cause annoyance or alarm; or (b) causes a communication to be initiated by mechanical or electronic means or otherwise with a person, anonymously or otherwise, by telephone, or by telegraph, mail or any other form of written communication, in a manner likely to cause annoyance or alarm; or 2. Makes a telephone call, whether or not a conversation ensues, with no purpose of legitimate communication... Aggravated harassment in the second degree is a class A misdemeanor. In addition you should report the conduct to the police and ask that a protective order be issued.

You can probably get an order from the court that says she cannot do what she is doing and if she does it again she may end up in jail. Speak directly to an attorney to proceed. Good luck!
