Summary

Dr. Smith was stalked by a man who attended her singles bible studies group. His behavior made everyone feel uncomfortable - especially when he asked the female members for rides home. Dr. Smith alerted her church Pastor, who told him he needed to join a men's only group...and the next week her car windshield was smashed during bible study. She moved hundreds of miles away, only to be confronted by her stalker on a bus near her new apartment and at the new church she was attending. Police told Dr. Smith that if she hadn't had a romantic relationship with him she could not get a restraining order, and that they wouldn't take a report until he physically harmed her.
