Warning: some of the language quoted in this piece may be triggering for people who have experienced abuse online.
Last year, I found out someone was using my photos to catfish women. He stole dozens of my online photos – including selfies, family photos, baby photos, photos with my ex – and, pretending to be me, he would then approach women and spew a torrent of abuse at them.
It took me months to track him down, and now I’m about to call him. I’m nervous, so much so that I have been putting it off for weeks.
