"I won't let any of this get the better of me, I'm so much stronger now, but it's hard when this is the type of people you are dealing with. Absolute ignorance. How do you think you can just draw a line in the sand? It will never be over for any of us."
"Yes, he just wants to get on with life and go on a walk but I also wanted to walk to my hotel and get there safe that night. What he did changed my life. It left me anxious and afraid in places I should have felt safe."
"He's paid the fine today to that crowd, what do you call it, that she nominated, and that's done. We've put a line in the sand since last Thursday. Then she's back on her social media and then next thing blah blah blah."
Following a court case where Denis Morris received a six-month suspended sentence for stalking, his father Philip Morris stated the matter was concluded after paying a fine to a nominated charity. The victim, Ms Koyce, responded strongly on social media, rejecting the notion that the incident could be simply resolved. She emphasized that while Morris wants to move forward, she too deserves safety and peace. Koyce expressed that the stalking incident, which involved Morris following her into her hotel and toward her room, fundamentally changed her life, leaving her anxious and afraid in spaces where she should feel secure. She criticized the ignorance shown toward both herself and the charity involved.
