​

In my first year of university, I decided to get a job to earn some money. The most comfortable option for my lifestyle was freelance work.

​

So I started looking and found an online job listing for a personal assistant. I sent my CV and got a reply immediately.

​

One day, we connected over Skype and started talking about my responsibilities. But almost immediately, my employer started insisting that I undress in front of him. I said no. He kept trying to persuade me. I said no every time. He backed off.

​

The next time we connected, he started trying to convince me to undress again. I refused again.

​

Then he started using screen capture to show me pornographic images, pushing me to comment on them. I got scared. I quickly ended the call. I blocked him everywhere. But I forgot to block him on email. There, I found more than 10 messages with threats, insults, accusations, as well as an offer to make peace and resolve the conflict.
