A Dutch woman is set to appear in court later today to face stalking charges after allegedly calling a man 65,000 times over the past year, averaging 178 calls per day.
According to the man, he has been inundated with calls, texts, and emails from the woman.
Lawyers representing the 42-year-old woman stated that she believed she was in a relationship with the man and insisted that her behavior was not excessive. The 62-year-old man, however, claims that there was no relationship between them.
Following a police raid on the woman’s residence in Rotterdam, multiple mobile phones and several computers were confiscated. A judge at an initial hearing allowed the woman to be released on bail, stipulating that she must not contact the man. Nevertheless, just hours after her release, it is alleged that she called him again, according to our correspondent. Since then, she has remained in custody and is expected to appear before a judge in The Hague later today.
