Re: stalking and harrasment

It is not particularly likely that you will be charged for one incident. However, at this point NO CONTACT is the best way to proceed. You have been advised that she wishes not contact which means that contact, for any reason, could support a restraining order at least and a criminal charge at most.

Do not write a letter.

Re: stalking and harrasment

That would be a bad idea. Since she has told you not to contact her, and police have done so as well, they have evidence that you've been warned. To contact her again, for any purpose, would give them a chance to charge you with a crime. Why risk it? I'd say, let it go and forget her.
