You’re Only Telling the World That You Fear What [She] Might Say

Mr. [His Lawyer’s Name],

I will keep this brief, as my husband and I have several things to say regarding your client, Matthew Steven*, but do not want to spend more time wasted on this man. He is my unlawful loverboy groomer, trafficker, and cyberstalker, among other things, whom I met online in 2015 and in person in 2016. The online abuse from him and his “friends” did not start in 2021; it began in 2015 and continues to this day.

The links in your emails through the website were broken. I neither appreciate attempts to locate our family, nor do I appreciate receiving informal legal letters with false accusations on his behalf issued through a website, instead of through proper channels, such as via mail to our [Protection Program] address. I see this as nothing more than continued victim and witness intimidation.

I do not appreciate being falsely accused of doing anything that has caused him “significant harm,” especially without any supporting evidence whatsoever. Attempting to rush me into making a decision within eight days to make peace with the man who destroyed my life and multiple award-winning career is unacceptable, especially when it does not waive “his right to pursue legal action against” us.

I am his autistic exploitation victim and not the other way around. I have merely been sharing my truthful experiences with authentic evidence in self-defense, in a non-malicious way, about a topic of public interest and safety. I have not knowingly made any “false” or “unfounded” statements, nor is that the type of person I am.

I know that when he asked social media platforms to address these alleged “false” statements, he did not provide them with any evidence to support his claim that they are indeed false. I was alerted to that fact via at least one of these reports that falsely accused me of sharing non-consensual porn publicly, which I have never done and for which there would be no authentic evidence to support.

Matthew Steven has been lying to me, about me, and about our relationship for years, and to others. He admitted to doing so via text directly to me, and for four years after that initial text, before I finally left the exploitative dynamic he and his “friends” coerced/forced me into.

This occurred after he once again falsely accused me of the very thing his “friends” blackmailed and sextorted me with in an effort to get me to repeat these lies to my loved ones, or else they would do it for me—and they did, many times, both online and in person. I have been intimidated for many years into this narrative that was used to lure me to meet him in Canada under false pretenses of a fake relationship.

What’s worse is that he created this lie only after participating in a relationship with me for many months and collecting the intimate evidence that was used against me by them. He admitted to talking to his “friend” about me “cheating” (which I never did) and altering the context of my consent afterward, of which he knows, without a doubt, was not the truth.

He is also lying to his legal representation about significant aspects of this story, which is quite clear to me given what you wrote in your form, and his history of alcohol abuse, which is well-known to cause memory and behavioral issues. Our family is not obligated to deal with the fallout of his addictions, nor do I feel that being silenced is the solution, especially when he has such great potential to harm other women who deserve to know and give their informed consent to him knowing the truth before he ruins their lives as well.

With that said, my husband and I will not participate in any audio or video mediation with this man, as we do not trust him for many good reasons, supported by thousands of pieces of evidence, a very small portion of which has been posted in a censored format. Discussions can continue via correspondence, and that is it. He was given plenty of opportunities to stop this criminal activity nearly a decade ago, and he chose to persist despite all of the verifiable evidence, sticking to his lies to benefit himself and presumably to stay out of prison; he did not care whom he hurt.

If that means he pursues legal action, then that’s what happens, and that’s his choice. The truth I share, with my right to share it for the benefit of public interest and safety, is not “false” or “unfounded”; it may be hurtful, but if the truth is causing him “significant harm,” then it would have been wise for him not to do what he has done to me and my family for the last decade.

Sincerely,

“Diabolidoll”

*For clarification, the reason we are specific in sharing Matthew Steven’s known locations is strictly due to his very common name and for public safety.
