“I was really careful about my social media,” she said. “I had all my sites blocked from other people.”

CORNELIUS, N.C. — “It was awful,” the victim, who did not want to be identified, said. “I'm not the type of person to get really scared about what people say to me.”

The student hopes whoever is behind the plot is caught quickly.

“Reality really hit me and I was like, ‘This could actually ruin my entire life,’” she said.
