Girl’s eye reflections tell “selfie stalker” how to find her. She almost dies. 

Nobody talking about the fact that he was released from jail due to “over crowding”?? Excuse me??

One of the most depressing things about the Internet is how much information is now readily & maybe forever available for a determined stalker to take advantage of.

197 Polaroids is a crazy amount! That poor woman. I'm so glad they caught him!

Dude has Shrek ears…

His behavior will never change. This is who he is. Crowder isn't a pre-teen or teen: he's pushing 40 and has years of unsavory (and upsetting) behavior behind him. Behavior modification classes are very likely a waste of time.

Super scary how an idol was found simply by the reflection of her eyes. I feel so sorry for the victims in this video.

He loved her but hurt her? That obsession was full force…wow.

I’m a B&N employee-please, if anyone is EVER making you feel uncomfortable, come tell one of us. If your store is anything like mine, we’ll make sure that you’re safe and that the other person is dealt with. We usually aren’t allowed to go off site, but if your car is parked in a parking lot right by the store, I’d totally walk you to your car, or even just go outside to check the area. Especially if you were worried about the other person lingering or something.

The Japanese one is really weird and scary. The other ones make me so worried, men always say “your doing too much your over reacting” but no we are never doing too much and we aren’t over reacting. We’re just trusting our instincts

its insane that criminals can be released bc of prison "overcrowding". so its perfectly fine to put the victims in danger once again. amazing how the law makes exceptions sometimes

okay, the idol one was absolutely disgusting.

Jeez, with those ears, he can also pick up the audio where he was peeping.

also about the japanese guy and the idol, except the SA it is a very normalized thing in the idol industry for fans to collect photocards, go to concerts their idols perform in, buy every album, etc. The term sasaeng comes in when you start to stalk their every move, find out the locations theyve been to and act like they are your friend or lover. creepy.

How can a man have so many "assault with weapon" charges and still be out walking?? It's so weird in America the gun control is so terrible, you won't see that bs anywhere else in the world.

Im sorry i know this is a serious video but why does creepy crowder look like shrek with those coilflower ears in the mugshoot😭🤚

Even the reflections in our eyes aren't safe. This world scares me

I have unfortunately had a few stalkers so far in my life.. The last one was especially bad. Honestly I was soo lucky that my loved ones and police had figured out where I was being held at and saved me.

the way that women have to accommodate our daily lives to this extent is baffling.

Please be careful out there ladies. Always be aware of your surroundings. Get to safety quickly and surround yourself in a public area.

stalking is a scary feeling, especially as a woman. I have been stalked for about 3 years by one man, and yet nobody has helped me, not even my teachers after repeated reports. I appreciate the concern for her, this shouldn't happen to anyone.

every case here is terrifying. the one about the poor Jpop idol is so much like the anime film Perfect Blue. Its a horror film about a pop idol with a crazed stalker.

While I appreciate the words of caution, we should NOT have to go to such lengths to protect ourselves and to live our lives!

As a man, thank you for having him behind bars...no woman should have to go through this. Women buy protection and carry some type of weapon and keep it in a handbag. Pepper spray is good. You never know. Stay safe and sound out there., too.🙏

A “solo date” is a crazy way to say having a hobby.

Bro, that 2nd guy... Why do people like this keep getting released from jail? Does it take someone dying before we lock these people up? Jesus.

jesus I cant imagine the stress and dread of women having to experience this everyday, im so sorry you have to experience this. As a fellow man, I'm ashamed of this behavior that other men do.

"What happened to Ena Matsuoka? She survived the attack, but was hospitalized for four months, is partially blind in one eye, has problems eating and has not regained the full use of one hand. She also suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder."

This is why I (a 33 y.o who looks much younger,) never go anywhere alone. And I don't let my daughters go out alone either. There's always someone on the prowl. Never trust the streets.

I had a similar experience, I was waiting outside with my dog for my mom to get out of Publix. And, where I was standing happened to be next to a small pile of firewood for sale. And I mean SMALL pile, like maybe 10-11 wrapped bundles. So I’m standing there, and this man comes to look at the selection of fire wood, which, obviously, perfectly acceptable. But, it soon became very noticeable that he kept looking at the fire wood directly behind and directly to the side of where I was standing. This whole situation just felt wrong to me. I live in Florida, and the firewood Publix sells is more of a holiday novelty item than anything else, even with all the crazy colder weather we’ve been getting. And who takes 10 minutes to look at a single grouping of firewood? I was so uncomfortable that I walked back to the car with my dog, and making sure he didn’t follow me. Luckily we parked far back enough in the parking lot so following me would make him look very suspicious to other people since I live in an area where people tend to have other peoples’ back…it’s so horrible

the messed up thing is that the dude served his time (8 years before these incidents) and still wasnt rehabilitated... whats the point of going to prison if they are going to keep up the same bs after being released. I feel like before being released they have to go through extensive therapy or something. not just sit in a cell, go work out, socialize with other cellmates and eat.

I never realized how scary daily life can be for a woman. Hearing about it is one thing, but seeing it in video form like this is really eye opening.

I worry about this constantly when my daughter is out alone or with friends. She and her one friend (both are 17) were being followed by an older man through stores in the mall. She called me immediately scared and thankfully my friend who is a security officer there was working and he took care of it while the girls walked quickly to the car while I was still on FaceTime with them. It’s why we have Life360 also. I always remind her to be aware of her surroundings.

A man followed me around the plaza of my job for 20 min, it wasn’t until I sat with people at a bus stop and told a girl next to me what was going on that she stayed close to me. I got on the bus with her just so he wouldn’t follow, he stayed behind watching

His ears are something i would create in Sims for laughs 😂

that's some black mirror stuff going on

Once when I was out with some friends, this guy started following me. I was a little intoxicated (this was my first time drinking) and I was trailing a bit behind them as we talked. Out of nowhere this guy grabs me by the wrist, pulls me back and tries to kiss me. I was mortified and pushed him away, I thought maybe he was mistaken me for someone, but after looking at him, I could tell he was on something (his pupils were huge). One of my male friends noticed and came over to us and and basically told him to get lost. He said, "Sorry, I'm going to call my mom now. Then he sat on the curb. The moral is; stick with your group when your out drinking and be aware of your surroundings at all times. Be safe!

Our justice system is a joke.

imagine, you track down an idol, followed her, and proceed to assault her. then on the next few weeks, you say you miss her, saying you hope she's doing well, even though it was your fault why the idol wasn't feeling well! it makes no sense!!!!!

Thank God I'm ugly. This is why I'm glad I'm not good-looking what so ever. Yeah every now and then I wished I looked pretty. But then I remember the amount of times I could get hurt for it. I wish all good-looking people luck and safety.

The worst part about this is that some woman actually get blamed for this, for example a woman posted the video of her getting harassed on yt or tik tok some ppl will say “oh well it’s your fault, you got yourself in that situation😑” like what-💀

Gosh, it’s depressing that we even have to do that just to stay safe 😢

Never taking selfies with my eyes open ever again 🫢😮‍💨

It was heartwarming to know that strangers would help someone being stalked, even if they weren’t famous.

These men shouldn’t be out at all! They will repeat the behavior, this is gross and wrong.

Never tell people online what city or country your in...

As a J-pop idol fan, I'm gonna share something that makes this even more scary and unpredictable: most of the things you shared aren't actually rare in wota culture (wota = idol fan). Idols in Japan aren't some famous super pro singers, they're normal girls who want to dance, sing and entertain. Girls you want to see grow as artists and people, at least that's how I and many of my wota friends feel. Because they're not famous, the job is not that well paying... Any kind of support is welcomed, so they'll buy chekis the most (the signed polaroids), but any merch and going to their lives is also welcomed. Wotas usually are very intense in supporting their idols, which is also a cultural thing (getting hyperfixated on something it's so common in Japan, possible due to the working and life environment). So as you were saying all of the things he did, I didn't feel any of the things he did were out of the ordinary, until he tried to find where Ena lived... That's why I find it twice as scary, because by wota standards he was a normal dude just supporting his oshi (favorite idol). My acquaintances buy chekis and take them off to places to eat with them and take aesthetic photos, they buy all the merch, try to go to every live... But never ever have they tried to get into the idol's personal life, we support what they decide to show us and nothing more. We know it's their job, the least we can do to be thankful is respect them.

The fact that the follow up is "how can we prevent attacks like these" and it's about what a woman has to do, and not about how (SOME, NOT ALL) men need to change their behaviours. I recognize that we as women do everything we can to avoid these situations, but it's still terrifying that the thought process needs to be 'what YOU can do to stop men from r-wording you'. -facepalm- Makes me sad.

This is why i carry a blade on me all the time and am pursuing a concealed weapons license. Im a victim of stalking and DV so i know how quickly things can turn ..... its sad but true...stay safe yall ❤

It sucks when people see a bad person online and blame the entire gender or race when other people of that gender or race did nothing but other than that this man is digusting.

These people really have nothing better to do with their life. It’s scary to be a women in todays society because you can’t trust anyone. Girls are typically more interested in true crime bc it shows the things that happen to us and make us more cautious. Be safe out there guys and if you’re walking alone remember to watch your surroundings, if you’re listening to music make sure you keep one earplug out, carry pepper spray with you or if like me you don’t have any, always have something you can grab and fight with if that’s the case. If you think someone’s following you go to a public area, record or call someone or pretend to be on the phone.

Come on we all gotta agree that the crowder guy looks like Shrek in his mug shot 😭😭😭🙌🙌

When i was in MIDDLE SCHOOL ( about 13)- I went to the mall with my mom and was looking through manga at Barnes & Noble. I was very obviously a minor, on top of that I would've only been about 4'11''. Regardless of what I was wearing, I was in an oversized mens t-shirt and a thick plain skirt that went well below my knees. It was the middle of the day, completely bright out, and filled with plenty of other people. Some creep was going around fiddling with the manga blatantly pretending to blend in and act normal. As I worked my way down the shelves, he kept doing this while just ogling me the whole time. To paint a picture, this was a smaller area with shelves in a boxed arrangement (shelves on three sides with an open fourth). We were on a second floor with a large open middle - this was in the direction of the 4th open side. Against the railing were many small tables and displays as well as large supporting columns (At least 4 feet in diameter). Between one table and a pillar, my mom was sat down on the floor, unintentionally hiding out of view from others - to the point where someone could easily walk passed her and not even notice her and her 98lbs, service dog beside her. Completely oblivious to this guy beside me, my mom's dog picked up on his behavior and body language and started to growl at him. Sweetest dog I've met, she is never an aggressive dog, but she was ready to stand up to protect us from this guy. This guy bolted out of there so fast once he realized I wasn't alone. It's scary knowing the people out there, and what could've happened if I was alone and this guy followed me out to the parking lot. Always be aware of your surroundings - even if its light out and even if you aren't alone.

I work at a super walmart, weird guys and stalking happens to me and my coworkers all the time as a young female. I've learnt to stick up for myself though, yell loudly at them when I'm uncomfortable and not entertain them or give any reaction. Because they prey on vulnerability.

I remember seeing videos of Korean women walking to their flats in South Korea and being followed home, there was this one who got into her flat, just closed the door and some guy was swiftly behind her, tried her door. If she had paused once he would've gotten into her flat.

that poor idol... imagine someone being so obsessed they can find you through the reflection in your EYES!! he ruined her career :( the other women didn't deserve the stalking either

Iam so glad you put a TW, most people don’t do that in these types of videos!

this just really shows how much of a dangerous place the internet is and how we should be cautious on what we do in it

What's sad is we're the ones who have to make the changes, not the ones who are the problem in the first place 😢❤

Safety wise, you make a great point.

NO BECAUSE WHY DID THE OFFICE LADY OF THE APARTMENTS SAY TO PHEEBS “Well what do you want me to do about it?” ???? SHE NEEDS TO KEEP FIRED WTH AHAUOEKENRLFJDNFN I FEEL SO SORRY FOR THIS GIRL-

Crazy how bro was sniffing peoples butts💀

Thank you for giving people this information. I already know this information, but I will save this video so I can keep this information inside of my head.

i love your comps!!

I know this might not be something you’re looking to make a video on, but please make a video about what it’s like to be special ed student because we get treated so bad and so horrible more people need to know about the things that they are doing in those classrooms

10:24 PRSK REFERENCE

That is so creepy that someone would do that much just to find out where their idol is… and then do what that guy did..

Poor Enaaa...i hope she recovered from that traumatic experiance! 😭

as not only a male, but someone with absolutely no routine too, i see this as an absolute win.

nice editing (and video) tho, thats why i subbed

And this is the main reason why I, a grown woman, is extremely uncomfortable going most places alone (public or otherwise). I tell myself I will walk around my neighborhood for exercise, but even that is uncomfortable because I feel like I have to be 150% vigilant even in a "safe" neighborhood. Be safe ladies.

This actually happened to my cousin, idk if they were the same person but I’m glad people are speaking up about it

Hibiki really went through 197 polaroids to find a girl. I'm shocked.

true. when i was 7-8 years old i was waiting for my friend so we can hang out. a man was behind me. he was maybe 50-60 years old. he was just there standing with newspapers. looking at them... then i felt unsafe but ignored it. when i turned around and turned back i saw him closer to me. i was running for my life. i just took breaks to look behind me. i was terrified. when i turned 9 i was still terrified being alone and of old men. this trauma haunts me to this day...

The idol one saddens me. That man altered her life forever.

The fact he had the NERVE to say "get some rest, take care" aa if he wasn't the reason she was unwell

This exact same thing happened to me at the gym once w/an old man crouching down behind me when I was younger. It took a long time for me to go back to a gym ever again.

Stay safe out there!

WHY DOES HE LOOK LIKE SHREK

he looked like he could hear what was going on at his home in his mugshot

At this point girls can’t have a day off without a stalker looking at them

exactly the reason why I don't go out without someone accompanying me.

forever determined in stalkerish ways to hold power in knowing too much in him questioning uh how does she know, demon, witch???

2:17 he has shrek ears😭😭

It’s surprising how so many people could get away with disgusting things now in this system.

This is really sad to be honest, this world is really messed up and men just cant take ''No sorry.'' or ''Stop!'' as an answer.

Someone wanna tell Meta about the full name part of this? After all if you want to get verified on Instagram you HAVE to have your WHOLE GOVERNMENT NAME on display. BS.

this is actually my nightmare. I've been followed from my bus stop before, but not this buy. its actually so scary.

im watching this at night 😭😭😭

The reason the apartment lady said “what do you want me to do about it?” Is because the resident should’ve contacted the police instead. Security threats like this are best handled for the authorities. The staff of the apartment complex are just that- staff. There’s nothing they can do in that situation but contact the police for you at that point.

when i was going back home the same person always follow me when im going to my home so thank you for telling me that and even the police find out he a dangerouse stalker

The Hibiki story was wild. I didn't expect the lengths a stan would go to just to see their idol.

2:17 SHREK? SANTA'S LITTLE WORKERS? AVATAR THE WAY OF WATER?

People are often released for "overcrowding," and I just don't get it why not just transfer them to another jail. is it because they're the ones with the shorter sentences???

"bro i have mad game i swear" bros game:

i honestly thought the first 15 seconds was another ad- this is cool btw

“Imagine yourself at your favourite Barnes and NOOOOOOOO! WHERE DID IT GO??” I’m sorry I had to

NOT THE SHREK EARS- 😭🤚🏼

This guy looks so scary with those funny ears hahahahaha 😂😂🤣😂😂😂

The fact that people have to go to such extreme lengths to do something as basic as go grab toothpaste or something is absolutely insane. Stay safe, y'all.

Why do we have to do so much to keep us safe as women … 😕
