Trevor Dutch Shapiro, 34, is a handsome male model.
In 2018, he moved from Kansas to New York to seek growth and registered his personal information online on a website called "Cowboys 4 Angels." It's an escort site that offers women an "elite male companion" and a "perfect boyfriend experience with no strings attached."
Through the site, Shapiro met Trudy Jacobson, a wealthy 71-year-old woman.
Jacobson is a married man who has been married for over 40 years.
In 1987, she and her husband founded TransAm, a major rig company in the Midwest. It is a top-notch freight company. The company's fleet grew from 170 vehicles to nearly 4,000 vehicles, generating annual revenue of $300 million. Jacobson was also nicknamed the "Queen of Trucks", a proper rich woman.
The two hit it off after meeting and soon began a "take what you need" relationship, the rich woman Jacobson bought a lot of luxury goods for Shapiro, and the two went to high-end hotels to enjoy exotic travel, all of which Jacobson paid for.
But the relationship maintained by money cannot last long after all, and after about 2 years of dating, in December 2020, the relationship between the two came to an end, and it is reported that this is still a relationship ended by Shapiro's initiative.
Unexpectedly, from then on, Shapiro's nightmare began...
Cornered and even asking for help from a rich husband...
Since the breakup, Shapiro has always felt that his life is under scrutiny because of multiple incidents of stalking and harassment around him.
First, in March 2021, a stranger approached Shapiro's apartment and handed him a folder containing personal information.
He opened it and was horrified to see that the folder contained a list of Shapiro's relatives and his Social Security number. The strange man also said, "This was given to you by the Italian people."
He discovered that there were also private detectives who had followed his friends as far away as Philadelphia and Florida.
Photos of him having dinner with a female friend were sent to the female friend and her husband, suggesting that he had an improper relationship with the female friend.
In May 2021, Shapiro and friends bowled at a bowling alley when a staff member handed him a note that read: "Two men are taking pictures of you opposite the bowling alley." ”
In July 2021, he and his current girlfriend were stalked by a man with a tattoo on his arm while shopping in New York.
He also found countless posters of his girlfriend in the area where he worked and around his home, with pictures of him and her girlfriend that read: "Stop Trafficking in Persons."
They took the poster down and put it on the next day.
My girlfriend's parents also received an anonymous package detailing Shapiro's history of human trafficking....
In August 2021, the situation deteriorated further. Shapiro found that as soon as he left the house, a man sitting in the car recorded him, and then drove away.
His work is also not going well. The advertising shoots that had been negotiated were inexplicably canceled, and the cooperation with some fashion designers was also terminated.
After the two broke up, offensive articles against Shapiro also appeared on some websites.
The intense pressure made Shapiro break down, and he had to visit a psychologist frequently. In January 2022, he even contacted Jacobson's husband, John, desperately asking for help...
In his email to John, he described his relationship with Jacobson and the harassment he and his friends faced after their breakup:
"My name is Trevor Shapiro, I'm sorry to write to you like this, but now is the time to reach out to me because you are my last resort here. The email was about Jacobson. ”
He confessed to their affair and her generosity to him financially, but went on to point out that the two had an argument and things "became unstable" and that "most of our quarrels were because she felt the need to control me." ”
Shapiro described Jacobson as "having a trust problem with the friends I spent time with," while noting that "Jacobson admitted that someone was following me and taking pictures of me." ”
Shapiro pleaded, "I have no choice but to contact you and ask you to talk to her and help end the harassment that my friends and I have had to face." I have submitted several police reports before and despite the evidence to no avail. Can you help? ”
Shortly after Shapiro sent the email, Jacobson sent him a warning letter.
Jacobson also filed a lawsuit against a private investigative firm she allegedly used to track Shapiro, accusing it of "maliciously leaking confidential information."
After a series of physical and mental tortures, Shapiro took Jacobson to court in March for $1.8 million.
He claimed the incident was part of a "malicious" operation by Jacobson and a team of private investigators with the aim of disrupting his life and gradually driving him crazy.
But as for the "ex-boyfriend" lawsuit, Jacobson called the lawsuit "nonsense" and called Shapiro an "opportunist trying to profit from his private situation."
The case is still pending.
Well, how to say, you need to be cautious in earning money, it's the same in any line ....
