Get a restraining order. And call the police for every infraction.

Think lawsuit. You can get a free consultation in some big cities with up to three lawyers. Lawyers love harassment cases but you will have to document every little detail, save gifts, notes, tapes of messages on the answering machine, etc. First of all, if he is callng you on your cell or at home, get a new private number but KEEP THE OLD ONE. Give out your number to everyone that really matters and will keep it private.
Let him continue to call the old number and hook up an answering machine. Then turn the volume off and just let the tape roll without ever picking up. Change your email address but keep the old one, have your mail sent to a PO Box or someone else's house exc. a few unimportant things and he will not suspect at least for awhile.
With a lawyer, he can maneuver through the legal system better than, say, a police officer, who only cares about handing out traffic tickets till it's Tim Horton's time so he can build up that donut belly, then go play pool with the guys and have a beer and then pretentiously arrest a hooker who wasn't bothering anyone in a bar because he isn't getting it and can't afford to pay for it himself...good luck...

I had two count 'em two restraining orders on an elderly nut who was harrassing us. TWO.
He weasled out from getting arrested because the language was insufficient. The second time the JUDGE wrote the restraining order and lambasted the guy. Guess what? The police still wouldn't arrest him when he tried to have our outdoor jacuzzi removed with a freaking crane he had hired. And then he sent US the bill. LMFAO.
Lawyers aren't worth the money.
Restraining orders are not worth the paper they are printed on.
You don't say what your circumstances are, if he is stalking you or works with you or lives next to you. The remedy is different. Check with legal aid.
If at all possible, move and change your phone, routines, etc. Then video him with your phone or keep a digital camera handy. Then give it to the police. Don't be a victim. Be pro-active for yourself. Don't wait for others to do for you.
Now, here's a dilly... if he is doing it where you live because he lives nearby? Sue his insurance agency. He is covered for this crap under his homeowners policy. Oh yeah.

If charges have been filed, I'd consult with your attorney. On one hand, harrassing is aweful, but on the other hand you want to tread lightly until the charges have been resolved so it doesn't become even more of a headache. If you are concerned for your safety certainly consult with the authorities or even a domestic violence shelter - depending on the nature of the harrasment.

If you have filed charges then you need to "harass" the police to make this person stop doing what they are doing. Call every single time they do something. The police will help you, after all, that is what they are paid to do.

Change your phone number. Get a pit bull that lives outside of the front door and a ratwelier that lives at the back door.
