The New Sweetheart Harassment | M6 | 66 minutes

When Alain takes his daughter to school he is very often followed by a young woman who takes photos of him. At other times she waits outside his house and almost every day she sends him steaming letters. Alain is literally being tracked by this woman. It’s a form of harassment identified in the United States and given the name of “stalking”. The phenomenon has been made infamous by stars such as Leonardo Di Caprio or the group, Tokyo Hotel, who are pursued day and night by benumbed fans. It also affects many anonymous people whose lives are made a hell. Most of the time the victims are women. Like Patricia Lefranc, a young apartment building supervisor, who was finally disfigured for life by her former lover. Today, victims are fighting to have such harassment, even when not accompanied by physical violence, punishable by law.
