A San Francisco woman has taken to TikTok to share her ongoing ordeal with digital stalking, accusing a former coworker of monitoring her devices and movements for over three months. The woman, Dominique Edwards, said she has proof of the harassment and is preparing to take him to civil court. In one of her videos, Dominique explained, “I’m suing a man who’s been stalking me for 105 days. He’s my ex-coworker. He records everything that I do. I have proof that he used company software to access my computer and watch me through my screen, proof that he listens to my phone and proof that he’s been tracking my location nonstop.”
She added that her unemployment has made it difficult to cover the cost of digital forensics, which she needs to strengthen her case. She told viewers that her campaign is about accountability. “This is what digital stalking looks like and the only way that I can hold him accountable is with proof that holds up in civil court. So if you want to help me fight back, share this video, leave a comment, and repost,” she said.
Dominique Builds a Case Through GoFundMe
The woman’s TikTok bio currently reads, “Being stalked. Building the case. Help me to fight back.” Alongside her videos, Dominique launched a GoFundMe campaign titled: My Ex-Coworker Is Stalking Me Digitally. I Need Help. On the fundraiser page, she described herself as a former biotech executive assistant and detailed how her devices had been compromised. Some of the ones she listed include unexplained system activity, seeing files she never installed, and location services activating as if triggered remotely. “This man used to have access to my tech. He had motive. He had clearance. He had the skill,” she wrote.
She said she believes this behavior amounts to digital abuse and explained that her $150,000 fundraising goal is not only to cover living expenses but also to afford the digital forensics needed to prove her case. So far, more than 350 people have donated, bringing in over $16,500 in support.
Netizens React to the San Francisco Woman’s Plea
Many viewers have rallied around Dominique, with some calling her fight an important stand against harassment. “We are doing this together!!!” one person wrote. Another expressed worry, asking, “How does he listen through your phone?!? I feel like my ex is doing this.” Some urged her to pursue justice beyond the individual stalker. “After you finish suing him then sue your former employer for not handling it,” one commenter advised.
The comments also included messages of support and advice, such as, “Remember to save all evidence inside an external hard disk honey ❤” and “I hope you’re protecting yourself to the fullest extent!!!!” One viewer praised her persistence, writing, “Here for this! Accountability is a must.” Another added simply, “I hope everything works out for you, stay safe 💗.”
