There's a guy that lives behind my house. He sexually assaulted his two twin sisters, who suffer from mental disabilities, years ago. No one pressed charges and the girls were unable to do so. Since he was never convicted he isn't on the sex offenders list. His two younger sisters attend my step dad's church (he's the pastor) and their caretaker is the previous pastor.
Word has gotten through to my mother that he watches us through our windows and watches me in particular. He's told several people that he wants to have sex with me. That he wants to do all these horrible things to me. I don't understand how a person could be like that. I hear that he is a substitute teacher and occasionally subs at my school in town. I'm horrified that I'll get him in one of my classes or that he'll see me after practice. I don't know what to do. I can't tell the cops or anything because he hasn't hurt me, but I'm scared that he will. I pray that God will show me why this is happening and why this man wants to hurt me. That he'll show me what I did wrong to deserve this because right now I just don't understand. ​

No one deserves to be raped/assaulted/threatened. God would never tell you that you deserve that kind of treatment.

I honestly don't know how to help you here, though. But I'll give you some of my thoughts.

First, report him to your parents, your teachers and principal and the police. Tell them your fears. Seriously. You never know how they'll be able to help you. Even if they can't do anything to him, they will at least watch out for you.

Second, rest in the truth that God didn't give you a spirit of fear but of power and a sound mind. So, don't let fear eat away at you. Confront it and fight against it with prayer.

Third, always be alert. This is true for anyone, not just someone in your situation. Be alert and aware of your surroundings. The world is a dangerous place and it's only getting worse.

I hope this helps.

My advice is dont dwell on it and stress about it,dont go anywhere by yourself around his home and if he does sub at your school, tell another teacher your situation and stay with groups of people.
Like you said "word had gotten to your mother" so its hearsay, you dont really know if you are in any danger. Has your mom confronted him?

Lastly, bad things dont happen to people because they do something wrong. Read book of Job. You are NOT being punished for anything, if you are in danger because of this man it is just a coincidence. You are scared only because you are letting yourself become scared. Sometimes there is no answer to "why things happen" they just happen. But then I am a skeptic:cool:

I agree with both the others

Bad things happening to you are not because you deserve it
sometimes others do wrong and you can't control that

If I was you I'd tell people
your Mom and Step Dad, how you feel

If he subs at your school just never be alone with him
never be alone with any teacher or coach
And report anything that doesn't seem right

dont go anywhere alone like others have said.
dont dwell and worry about it, but be watchful. use your instinct if something dont seem right, it usually isnt right.
