I would just call the police and let them talk to him about his behavior.
Maybe filing some charges for assault would be in order and then after
he gets to go down to the police station and his family has to bail him out
he will figure out that what he's been doing isn't funny nor is it a game.

I would contact the Proctor of the dorm. RA's are just other college students, and while there to help, the Proctor is their immediate boss and the person in charge of that dorm. He can then tell you what to do or who else to contact.

first of all RA's ain't gonna do crap.
2nd if you really wanted to beat him up, you would've done it without posting about it.
It doesn't take much to open up a can of whoopass, just make sure it was in "self-defense".

I dont understand how you can put up with this type of sh!t especially when it's your girlfriend.

Get yourself a ball gag, a traffic cone and some peanut butter.
He'll never bother your girlfriend again.

My girlfriend is going to UC Berkeley and is currently being harrased by a guy that is in her dorms. Im not too sure what exactly, but he goes up to her and hugs her and squeezes until my girlfriend would scream and yell out to stop. Sometimes she leaves her dorm room open, and when it's open, he would walk in, and not leave for hours. He would jam his fingers up her ribs. There's more, but basically, he is causing pain, and just laughs it off when my girlfriend screams, or tells him to stop. Now she is afraid to keep her door open, or even walk in her own hall. When she is lying in bed trying to study, he would get in the bed and try to snuggle.

I am fvcking pissed about this, and ridiculously close to going up there and beating him to a bloody pulp, but if I do that, I know i would get in some sort of trouble. I dont really want to get in trouble so I was wondering what I could legally do to get this guy in trouble. My girlfriend does not really want to tell the proper authorities, but I will convince her to.

My question is, what would the legal way be to go about this situation? I am not letting this go, and I want him kicked out of the school. Do you think it would get that far? Who would I tell? The dean?

Any advice to how I should settle this would be nice.

If you are big and strong... go calmly sit down with him... and I'm not being sarcastic here... calmly tell him, my girlfriend does not appreciate you putting your hands on her. I would really appreciate you saving me further legal action by leaving her alone from now on.

If you catch him in the act (again if you are big and strong), you can feel free to punch him, kick him, and otherwise kick his ass.

If you are not big and strong... I would contact the RA of that dorm.

But man I have to ask you a question... why is your girlfriend not resourceful enough to handle this already?... I find myself very suspicious of your girlfriend.

I love how people need to post to receive advice that is common sense to almost every human on the planet.

Doesn't she have any guy friends at school? If one of my female friends was being bothered like that I'd sure as hell confront the dude.

Buy her some pepper spray if you haven't already. It's a requirement for women these days.

Yeah...no kidding.

And the OP mentioned she "screams" for him to stop. I don't know how dorms at Berkeley work, but back when I lived in the dorms, if we heard a girl screaming for some guy to get off her, he would have had some MAJOR problems in about 30 seconds. Actually that did happen once...guys that take advantage of girls generally show much different behavior when 5 big guys show up. I doubt that was his favorite college experience...

Tell campus police, don't let them let the guy off with a warning, at the very least you'll have a record of him bothering her. File a restraining order. Arm your GF with something, like DougK62 said, pepper spray is effective and cheap. She must have guy friends in her dorm or at least at school, she should tell them what's going on and see if they can "help". Go visit her and have a little "talk" with the guy.

Do these things in that order.

best route, they will be on him like stank on a monkey. if not, you can always kick his ass.

I swear, straight people waaay overcomplicate things. :p

I dont want to do this, because I dont want to give him the chance to stop, or calm down. I want to take him out, and take him out now.

kick his ass then

What the bloody hell. Is she a mute or something? Talk to the RA or the police and get that creep out of there.

dont you think she's been telling him to? she does all the time.

So she hasn't bothered to escalate it by talking to the police or rounding up a posse? Again, no wonder he's going at it.

If every single girl reports him, he will be out of the school in no time. And if they're too "scared" or whatever other bullsh!t they try, just round up a few angry boyfriends and pay him a visit in person. Inform him in no uncertain terms that if he does not leave your girlfriend(s) alone voluntarily, you will remove the desire at the physical level. Bring a rubber band, sharp knife, and a ball gag to reinforce your point.

I know. This thread shouldn't even exist; it should be either "Guy was kicked out for harassing my girl" or "Posting from jail after beating the fvck out of guy who was harassing my girl"

All this talk about kicking his ass is all great and lovely, and the obvious thing to do, but it will probably get you in more trouble in the end, and make it worse for your girl and you. That kind of stuff is remembered.

Either report his ass (easy way), have a "conversation" with him and bring your nine so he knows your serious (dont bring it loaded, seriously), or give your girl some pepper spray (could get her hurt).

He's probably a big guy if he has the balls to do this. This isnt unhead of, a friend of my GF's was constantly bothered by some guy, and while I'd have liked to have kicked his ass, the plain and simple fact is that I'm not going to beat down a football player.

Just remember, he doesnt know you. You could be crazy. So act like it.

But seriously, just report him.

Best response yet.

Tell her to spray him with a hairspray flamethrower.


I wonder if you get these sick ideas from personal experience...

Well I just conviced her to tell authorities.

All three of you need to be tazered in the head, why would it take convincing?
