A Houston-area man has been arrested and charged with stalking after months of leaving unwanted items and messages at a woman’s home, according to Harris County Pct. 1 Constable Alan Rosen.
According to a post on Facebook, Pct. 1 investigators said Jorge Escalante Rivera, 29, repeatedly left trinkets on the porch of the residence, including crucifixes, tiny red plastic birds and handwritten notes.

The notes included pleas for the woman living in the house to email him so he could get to know her.
The victim told deputies with Pct. 1 that the ongoing attention made her feel threatened. She recently asked law enforcement to intervene and stop the behavior.
Rivera was allegedly captured on a home-surveillance camera on the porch, which documented him at the residence. Some of the footage was shared on Facebook.
Based on the evidence and the victim’s statement, prosecutors accepted a stalking charge against Rivera.
No further details have been released at this time.
