She is 18 (but looks much younger). He is late 30s or early 40s

A musician at the market I'm a part of has been seriously creeping on this adorable, sweet vendor. He's been sending her inappropriate messages on Instagram, stalking around her booth, and buying her drinks, being pushy.

I didn't know about it, but today she was away from her booth and I went and found her. She was crying because of how uncomfortable she was.

I talked to her and she told me what was going on, but she didn't want anyone to know or to make a big deal out of it. I asked her if she wanted to tell the market manager so we could deal with it. She didn't want to. I hummed and hawed about it but decided to tell the manager anyway, and explained to the farmer she works for what is going on.

No one should have to feel uncomfortable or embarrassed because some guy is being a creep. I feel bad for doing it and I will talk to her next week and apologise, and explain that we want to support her. The market manager and woman she works for are both lovely and I know she will feel better for it being dealt with.

I think she's lovely and so sweet and I want to protect her. It makes me so angry 😤😤 she was so scared looking I just hate it

She is also not at all interested in men so he can fk off

I am so glad she has you to stand up for her. Honestly this man sounds like a predator. She’s just of legal age and she’s said no and he keeps stalking her.

I think she will be okay with what you have done, thank goodness for you.

@iamonfire696 it's really disgusting and awful how he's persisted despite her reluctance and obvious discomfort. But I am so glad she's told me, and another person. She needs to know it's okay

And it needs to end

@caccoon I am very glad she told you. What a fricken creep.

@iamonfire696 me too! But it's so sad she wouldn't have if I didn't find and ask her. And I know that's potentially annoying of me but we've all been through uncomfortable shit alone. And we don't have to
