Be Cautious

This is a very troubling story from ESPN. I want it to serve as a reminder to clients and their friends to always remain cautious:

"James Conyers, the man who served five years in prison for stalking Olympian Sheila Taormina, was arrested and removed from Indiana State University on Sunday night following reports that he'd been stalking an ISU women's basketball player. Conyers walked into the student commons area, perched himself so that he could look at Sycamores center Kelsie Cooley, and was promptly arrested for criminal trespassing. A week ago, Conyers, 41, allegedly called the 19-year-old Cooley, said he was an ex-ISU jock and asked to meet her. In a report filed by campus police, the conversation was called "amicable." But that night, Cooley slept with a chair propped against her door for protection. Conyers' name circulated through the national media last summer, when Taormina, a pentathlete, made her final bid for the Olympics. Taormina told her story of how Conyers stalked her for nearly a year, threatened to rape her and followed her from Michigan to a training facility in Florida."
