Dutch woman calls ex-boyfriend 65,000 times

Story here. Notice the headline identifies the man as her boyfriend while the story reports he denies they had a relationship. I would observe it's another example, albeit a subtle one, of media taking her word over his by default, even when she is the one clearly evincing the deranged behavior.
'AMSTERDAM (AP) — Dutch prosecutors are charging a 42-year-old woman with stalking after she allegedly called her ex-boyfriend 65,000 times in the past year.
The 62-year-old victim from The Hague filed a police complaint in August due to the persistent phone calls. Police arrested the suspected stalker Monday, seizing several cell phones and computers from her home in Rotterdam.
Hague prosecution spokeswoman Nicolette Stoel said Thursday the woman argued to judges at a preliminary hearing she had a relationship with the man and the number of calls she placed to him wasn't excessive. The man denied they had a relationship.
The court ordered her not to contact him again.'

If this was a man calling a woman he'd already be in jail!
If this was a man calling a woman he'd already be in jail or a crazy house, but because it's a man he must have led her on or is in some way responsible for her infatuation? There is a reason we call them crazies. If the cops responded like the authors, no wonder he didn't bother filing.
