I alerted my boss immediately.

Block him keep him blocked, go to work maybe talk to your boss say this is what is happening, this is what has happened in the past, she should hear you out and sympathize with you.
Then never speak to this awful narcissistic man ever again, if need be take out a restraining order to keep yourself safe.
And of course you deserve 100% better than him, he is not even worthy of your listening ear to his bullshit.

Make a pre-emptive move, let your boss know your ex is harassing you and may try to contact her. Tell her most of what you told us, but edit the stuff she really doesn't need to know.

Well, extortion is a crime. It depends on how mean you want to be. How I would deal with it is tell my boss first (I don't know your work environment, so this may not be the best move if she is a hardass). And remember: You are in the right here. He's the bad guy. You are dodging a bullet by getting rid of this guy. If you can't tell your boss, I would explain to your ex that you may have to call the sex crimes unit, and explain your situation to them. I bet you never hear from him again.

Yeah, if he's a sex offender, you have the upper hand. Nobody will believe him over you. I like the 'beat him to the punch' suggestion.

Definitely get ahead of it. Inform your boss. Get that restraining order and ALL of it reported. Be on the safe side of it all. While restraining orders may or may not help, it will be documented.

If you by some odd chance in fact lose your job, it is their loss, and probably not an organization worthy for most.

Be safe!!

I would report he to the police. On Monday I would explain to your boss the break up situation, sex offender and threats. Be well. Be careful.

Call a LGBTQ helpline in your area asap

Be the first to speak to your boss. Show him you are in charge of your own life. Thing is, he probably is just a big bully and a bluffer, amongst other things.

Get a restraining order, pronto!

After reporting him to the police and obtaining a restraining order - assuming they don't just haul him in - speak to your boss that a former boyfriend is now stalking you. If you have any security at work they should have his photo at the very least!

Report him to the Police IMMEDIATELY. Print out the message. Gees.

@HippieChick58 said exactly what I was thinking. I also agree with those who said to contact the police. Even if they can't actually do anything to stop him, you'll at least have his threats on the record. Have it documented at work too. Document everything, block him, don't engage him, and wait until he fades away. Let all his crap roll off you like water on a duck's back.

I'm wonder if there's an attorney you could talk to about this. It strikes me as illegal for him to do what he says he's going to do. Attorneys are expensive, but maybe someone could offer you some good legal advice pro bono.

Report the situation to the police...make sure you tell them he is a register sex-offender...and move if you can.,

Since your boss is gay, she's not going to be shocked that you have feelings for her - so chances are if he does that, she'll just say "And what of it?"

PS - well done for ditching him, he sounds like an utter dickhead.

Are your benefits connected to your job?

Talk to your boss and let her know that he’s trying to jeapordize your employment.

If he or his mother show up to your work, contact the police.

This is just my opinion; but I think getting ahead of these things is the best way to deal with them..... I don't see how having feelings for your boss at some point would get you fired. If it were me I would go to my boss as humble and professional and honest as possible.... apologize for the situation and explain what's going on and then he has nothing to hold over your head anymore. This sounds like a person you absolutely need to get as far away from as possible you are doing the right thing. As for him being a registered sex offender I don't know what there is to report unless he's actually committed some crime again. You deserve better.

Yes report it, no need to deal with that.

Hi Sarahroo29 you could threaten him that you will post the fact that he is a sex offender on FB and other internet suppliers unless he stops harrassing you or if he goes to your boss.Maybe you should go to your boss if she is a decent type of person first and explain to her about what your ex is planning to do.Just an idea.

I would also contact the police and tell them the story. Even if they don't find any reason for charges, they can still make it clear that his conduct must stop.

There have been so many great responses so I will just add that I hope all goes well for you and it’s great to see how much people care on this site. You are not alone!!

Get your proof he’s a sex offender. Keep it with you. You can’t be fired for saying someone is attractive. If you are, you can sue.

I see nothing wrong in having feelings for your boss provided you don't act on them.

It's not going to do you any good to obsess about him - but definitely cut off the verbal communication; and if you must communicate, keep it to text or email that can serve as evidence. IMO. no boss would be willing take any calls seriously from a crazy person smearing an employee of theirs. In a pinch tell him you'll report him to the authorities for harassment if he does so, which he should not want to risk. If he doesn't stop threatening you, follow through with the cops; particularly if he causes you any actual trouble, an d be honest with them.
