Women in Eindhoven have come forward after being harassed and receiving videos of genitals from a PostNL delivery driver.
One woman spoke with AD, telling the paper of her experience with the delivery man, who has worked in her Eindhoven neighbourhood for years.
Started with a follow request
The woman tells the paper that the harassment began with a follow requests on Instagram.
The woman could tell from the profile picture that the profile belonged to her delivery man, but denied the request. However, the requests didn’t stop.
The delivery man then managed to find the woman on Facebook and sent her a video of him playing with his genitals.
The woman responded telling the man she did not appreciate the video and asking him to stop contacting her.
But did he? No. “I saw my phone blowing up. Almost every half hour I got a message from him,” she tells AD. She blocked the man and notified the police of her situation.
Many more victims
As it turns out, this woman was not alone in experiencing harassment by the PostNL delivery man.
Another woman posted in a local Facebook group about her experience with the man, and several other women commented underneath the post saying they had experienced something similar.
By sharing details about the driver, the women were able to determine that they had all likely been harassed by the same man.
PostNL investigating the situation
When speaking with AD, the woman explained that she had filed a complaint against the delivery driver with PostNL. However, she had heard nothing back.
AD then reached out to PostNL, who then responded with the following:
“We are aware of the situation and are currently investigating it. This is, of course, completely unacceptable and in no way aligns with our standards and values. Based on the results of the investigation, we will take appropriate action.”
