Catherine Lynne Carter
vs
Rory Grey Bowman, aka Rain Grey Bowman

Case number 0603 03051
PETITION FOR STALKING PROTECTIVE ORDER
under ORS 30.866

I am the petitioner and I state the following is true:
1. I am a resident of Multnomah County, state of Oregon
2. Respondent is a resident of Clark County, state of Washington. He or she is 40 years old.
3. Relationship between Respondent and Petitioner: cohabitated during 1997 & 98, former romantic partner.

Petitioner requests the Court to order the Respondent to STOP ANY CONTACT and AVOID ANY CONTACT WITH PETITIONER.

At least two unwanted instances of contact have occurred within the last two years which were alarming or coercive.

On 03/17/06 in the parking lot of CNF, NW 21st and Savier, Mr. Bowman (respondent) either followed or was waiting for my boyfriend Kevin D Balmer & attempted to confront Mr. Balmer outside his workplace with questions regarding me and my relationship with Mr. Balmer.

Mr. Bowman has apparently sought & found information regarding my whereabouts, relationship status & address in disregard of a verbal order from a judge.

On January 28th, 2006, on the internet bulletin board tribe.net, Mr. Bowman somehow determined my relationship w Mr. Balmer and appeared at a public screening of a film by Mr. Balmer where he had reason to believe I would be. He then emailed Mr. Balmer.

Mr. Bowman’s attempts to make contact with me through my boyfriend are alarming because they constitute a pattern of escalating behavior. His attempts to determine my whereabouts appear to be ongoing.

Before that, on February 20, 2003, in Bar Harbor ME, Mr. Bowman sent a series of letters to me via my parents in disregard of a judge’s order. In the feb 20th letter, he used an out of state post mark and admits to ongoing mental health issues and to being off his medication. The Feb 20th letter used a return address of Elinore Friedberg, a business client of mine. the contents of the letter indicate a disturbed mental state.

In 1999, I unsuccessfully filed for an anti-stalking order against Mr. Bowman. The judge verbally ordered him to return a car key he used to gain unauthorized access to my vehicle & never to contact me again: He continued to send letters to my lawyer and parents.

Mr. Bowman has an extensive background in martial arts and a violent temper. He appears to be in an unstable mental state. I am very concerned that he is targeting my boyfriend to gain information & access to me.

The spoken or written contacts described were NOT a threat that made me afraid of imminent and serious personal violence or physical harm.

Respondent is self-employed [address redacted], 6′ tall, 185 pounds with light brown hair and blue eyes: medium build and unknown vehicle, weapons or criminal hisotry. Respondent appears to be in a distressed mental state. It is unknown if respondent has weapons or access to weapons, or has ever been arrested for or convicted of a violent crime.
