Sylvia Rodriguez says this is not the first time she's had trouble trusting police.

Local NewsMarch 29, 2024: Sylvia Rodriguez says the same man's been harassing, threatening her for 4 years and she can't get help from Houston police.– Sylvia Rodriguez says she’s been harassed by the same man for four years and can’t get the help she needs from Houston police. A survivor of domestic violence and sexual assault, Rodriguez said she needed to come forward.

Rodriguez says this all started in 2003 when she was sexually assaulted. She says she never got any justice in her case. She started advocating for other survivors and in 2020 tried helping a client get out of an abusive and violent relationship. The abuser then started harassing Rodriguez. She filed a police report. The harassment got worse.

Rodriguez filed another report in 2023 because she says the same man was threatening to physically hurt her. Police have not done a thing over the past year, Rodriguez says, and she’s starting to lose faith.
