The perpetrator I am thinking of was a foreign national, but was a student in the USA, attending a US university.
The problem is law enforcement.
- junon 2y agoEh yes, and no. A lot of precincts don't have cybercrime resources and can't do much. Especially in the US, you'd be surprised at how little cooperation different agencies have. Best to contact a cyber division of some sort, especially sexual harassment task forces and non-profits. They're usually able to get the ball moving. Local PDs, especially in Metro areas, simply don't have the resources. It's a sad reality.
