The mobile phone always receives harassing and abusive text messages from a subordinate I fired before. Is this behavior a crime? Can I sue him?

Sending a text message three times repeatedly is "letter harassment"

This article stipulates: sending obscene, insulting, threatening or other information for many times to interfere with the normal life of others. Be detained for not more than five days or fined not more than five hundred yuan; If the circumstances are serious, they shall be detained for not less than five days but not more than ten days, and may also be fined not more than 500 yuan.

What we often call "SMS harassment" is just one of them. Objectively speaking, this kind of illegal behavior is manifested in the repeated dissemination of obscene, insulting, threatening or other harassing information through letters, telephones, computer information networks and other channels, which interferes with the normal life of others.

Obscene information refers to obscene information that specifically describes sexual behavior or explicitly promotes pornography; Insulting information refers to information that damages the personal dignity of others, such as malicious attacks, abuse and humiliation; Other information refers to sending information or other information about providing services or commodities too frequently or during breaks, which may interfere with the normal life of others. The sender of the information may be seeking revenge, excitement, mischief or advertisement. There are two preconditions for determining that this regulation has been violated: the information recipient must feel that his normal life has been disturbed and verified by the public security organ. The act of sending information must be carried out many times, that is, it should be repeated more than three times before it should be punished by public security management.

In this case, the victim should record the harassment in detail, such as recording, saving or recording the time and content of receiving the text message or phone call and the harasser's situation, and keep it as evidence and report it to the public security organ. The public security organ will file a case for investigation, and the public security organ will deal with acts that do violate the Law on Public Security Administration Punishment according to law. I hope my answer can help you!
