RE:      Lawsuit & Your Ongoing Misconduct

Dear Ms. Williams:

As you are well aware, you continue making defamatory and false light statements and you have failed to cease your harassment of myself and employees of businesses in which I have an ownership interest. I am well aware that court records in other stalking cases indicate that you are afflicted with a personality disorder and other mental health issues. However, nothing in these records suggest that you are incapable of controlling your conduct. Your continued actions are intentional and by your own admission designed to harm me and businesses in which I have an ownership interest.

As you are well aware, you are being sued in Colorado. And, no, despite what you have stated, the court in Colorado is not permitting you to appear in this case via Skype. You will need to respond to the Complaint and comply with the orders of the Colorado court or a default judgment will be entered against you and collection on the judgment will commence immediately.

I am no longer interested in reaching any type of settlement with you. I will proceed with this case and will take all steps necessary to collect the full amount of any judgment rendered in my favor in this case. In the end, your conduct simply is unacceptable.

You were provided an opportunity to enter a voluntary entry of appearance in this lawsuit, which you have declined to do. As a result, you will be served formally in this case, at your expense.

I am well aware that you are not represented by counsel despite your posts online otherwise. I contacted the firm you have repeatedly held out as your counsel. Although they did represent you in one of your prior stalking prosecutions, they evidently have no desire to represent you in any other legal matters.

I will be asking the court in Colorado to grant a restraining order in my favor and in favor of the companies and employees you have been harassing. This will extend to you placing any more defamatory posts on the Internet. Once this restraining order is in place, should you continue to engage in this type of unlawful activity, you will be in contempt of court and subject to sanctions of which I know you are well familiar because of prior cases lodged against you.

I strongly encourage you to seek professional legal assistance. You appear to have no real comprehension of how serious this matter is despite being mentally competent as defined by law. Indeed, each time you engage in additional wrongful conduct, you place yourself in further legal jeopardy.

Shortly, you will be receiving a set of interrogatories – questions which you must answer under oath. I will then be scheduling to take your deposition in Florida. You will also receive a preliminary itemization of damages sustained as the result of your misconduct. This will be the amount that will be sought in a final judgment in this case.

As I send this letter to you, I am also now filing a formal report with the sheriff’s department in your county. I continue to hear that you have engaged in violent conduct in the past and I feel that your behavior warrants the intervention of law enforcement.

I have enclosed another copy of the Complaint in this case for your reference. I am also providing a copy of this to law enforcement in Florida so that they have a full understanding of what they are dealing with when it comes to your misconduct.

                                                            Sincerely,

                                                           

 

 

The Depravity of a Stalker

As I made mention when I started this blog, my posting would be irregular. My intent in blogging on my own personal experiences with a truly out of control stalker is to provide support to other people going through similar experiences.

Deneale K. Williams, who is stalking me and harassing my associates, has a long history of stalking other people and committing acts of violence against them. In a pursuing a civil lawsuit against her. I have involved law enforcement officials. Indeed, because she was engaging in stalking and harassment while on the clock for not one but two employers, I contacted both of them. She lost both jobs because of her stalking and harassment of others, including me and people who work for businesses with which I am involved. Because of her stalking and harassment, Deneale K. Williams has lost her home. She apparently is a caretaker for minor children and child protective services in the state of Florida has been notified.

In short, everything that can be done to stop Deneale K. Williams and her illegal and inappropriate conduct has been undertaken. Nonetheless, she persists in her stalking, harassment, making defamatory statements and  a whole host of other conduct, including activities that violate criminal laws.

For example, today she posted on the Internet that I wrote and tweeted that I "want to obtain fame by causing her to commit suicide." Of course, I never wrote anything of the sort. It is amazing that a person will falsify what has and has not been tweeted or otherwise posted online because it is so readily verifiable. This type of behavior demonstrates the depths to which a stalker and harasser will stoop. (I previously reported that she posted online a false statement claiming that I telephoned her and stated I was on my way to her house to rape and murder her. Since blogging about that experience, I learned that this is a line she has used on others in the past, and with alarming frequency.)

I decided to share this to underscore how truly depraved a stalker can -- and oftentimes does -- become. When a violent stalker latches on to a target, he or she literally will sacrifice a tremendous amount in his or her efforts to cause serious harm to that target. Indeed, as my own experience demonstrates, a violent stalker will sacrifice her home, employment and even family in order to cause harm to her target. In addition, she is being sued and has been reported to law enforcement multiple times.

If you find yourself in a similar situation, in the sights of a truly depraved individual intent on disrupting your life as much as possible, I suggest you stay the course. One of the methodologies of a stalker is manipulation, not only of the target but of others around that target. A target of a stalker simply cannot become sucked in by this type of manipulative conduct. By staying the course, the target of a stalker will prevail and maintain a happy life.

Lawsuit Against a Convicted, Violent Stalker

In my initial post in this blog about being the target of a convicted stalker, I shared the fact that I have needed to pursue legal action Deneale K. Williams. A suggestion was made that I share the complaint being pursued in the civil suit against Williams. Sadly, I am far from the first person who has been forced to take legal action against Williams -- including people who took civil action against her and pursued criminal charges.

A Book for Available for Free: Safety Net: Guidebook for Protecting Teens Online by Mike Broemmel

As I made clear in my initial post on this blog, I want to derive something beneficial and positive out of being stalked and harassed by a convicted, serial stalker. Some years ago, I was asked to write a book on Internet safety for teenagers. Sadly, teens oftentimes are the targets of stalking, harassment and bullying by people like Deneale K. Williams. For this reason, I have made my book on Internet safety for teens -- Safety Net: Guidebook for Protecting Teens Online -- available for the next several days to people at no charge.

The book is available at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Safety-Net-Guidebook-Protecting-Online-ebook/dp/B00DHR9M0W/ref=sr_1_22?ie=UTF8&qid=1414509232&sr=8-22&keywords=Broemmel

In the aftermath of starting this blog, I have been invited to speak at a couple of conferences on domestic violence (in Syracuse and Scottsdale). In some instances, a stalker is an individual that had some sort of pre-existing (but terminated) relationship with the target of the harassment. Although that absolutely is not the situation in my case, there are insights to be gleaned from my own experiences with an out of control, violent stalker, when it comes to other stalking scenarios.

As I made mention in my last post, I have set up a special email address for anyone who wants to share their own experiences with stalkers. The special email address is: mb@mikebroemmel.com. I will endeavor to respond to all emails received through this address as quickly as possible.

The stalker who has targeted me enjoys using images and videos of herself as part of her stalking and harassment efforts. Thus, I share yet another image from Deneale K. Williams. As I said, I think these images speak volumes about this individual and her inappropriate conduct and inexcusable behavior.

An Introduction to The Charging Rhino

Many years ago, as a college student, one of my English professors reminded me to be sure to use my writing skills for good. With that admonition never far from mind, I do try to devote at least some of my time writing to reach out to others in a variety of different ways. For example, I write regularly on the subject of depression, a condition I experienced myself for several years.

Over the course of the past few months, I have become the victim of a stalker – a woman who I have decided to name in this blog: Deneale K. Williams. My thought is that she has lost her right to anonymity as a result of the truly outrageous acts she has undertaken in her efforts to harass and stalk.

I need to note up front that I am far from the first individual who has been victimized by Williams. The list of people she has stalked, harassed, threatened with violence is long – and growing. She has been arrested for stalking. She has at least one other open stalking case at this time. Court records indicate that she may be out on a $30,000 bond in another stalking case.

In pondering how to address being stalked by Deneale K. Williams, I decided I needed to take a firm stand against her. This included taking legal action in civil court as well as involving law enforcement as necessary. (Once again, I am not alone in having to take these steps in regard to Deneale K. Williams. Other individuals have had to take legal action in an attempt to reign in the misconduct of Williams – oftentimes to no real avail.)

I must confess that by taking a firm stand against the misconduct (indeed, even illegal activity of Williams), the actions of this individual have only become more egregious. For example, she has posted here and there on the Internet that I telephoned her and said I was coming over to her house to rape and murder her. (I made no such call and this represents one of claims for damages in the lawsuit I am pursuing against Williams.)

In the end, in trying to protect my privacy against the ever increasing onslaught by Williams, I am reminded of facing down a charging rhino – hence the name of this blog: The Charging Rhino.

I decided to write this blog to explain what I encounter when facing down this charging rhino for two reasons. First, in the end, I believe that light needs to be shed upon the misconduct of people who stalk, harass and work diligently to impair the day-to-day lives of other individuals. Second, I rather imagine that many people being stalked by someone like Deneale K. Williams feel lonely and embarrassed. With the explosion of the Internet, a person like Williams can do and say just about anything in pursuing their goals of harassment and stalking. I have concluded that other people being stalked need to understand that they are not alone and the fact that they have been targeted by a stalker is not their fault.

I have no schedule in mind as to when I will be posting on this blog. I probably will post as events unfold, including my own legal efforts to bring an end to the harassment and stalking of Deneale K. Williams. Understanding that many people have to deal with abusive stalkers, I have set up a special email account for anyone who might like to share stories or to seek support: mb@mikebroemmel.com. I will endeavor to respond to all emails received through this address as quickly as possible.

I close by sharing a photo of the person who is stalking and harassing me incessantly. I’ve written over 600 words in this blog post. But, in the end, I rather feel this image is worth a thousand more.
