National volleyball player Ece Hitayca filed a complaint against Taner K., stating that he persistently followed and harassed her through digital platforms. A request was made for coercive imprisonment of between 3 and 10 days for the person alleged to have continued his posts despite the court's 2-month restraining order.
Ece Hitayca, a 22-year-old national volleyball player who plays for Kuzeyboru, one of the Sultanlar Ligi teams, applied to the judiciary against Taner K., whom she stated had been harassing her for a long time. Hitayca filed a complaint, stating that the person in question persistently followed her accounts and made posts creating the impression that there was a romantic relationship between them. Upon the young volleyball player's application, the court issued a protection order, but it was alleged that this order was also violated.
COURT ISSUES A 2-MONTH RESTRAINING ORDER
Upon the application of Ece Hitayca, who reported that she was subjected to psychological violence and was concerned for her personal safety, the Istanbul Family Court issued a 2-month protection order against Taner K. Under the order, the person in question was prohibited from harassing the national volleyball player through communication tools, threatening and insulting her, and approaching her home and workplace.
HE COMBINED HIS NAME WITH A HEART SYMBOL AND CREATED A PROFILE
It was reported that, despite the court's order, Taner K. continued his posts on TikTok. It was alleged that the person in question created a public profile by combining his own name with Ece Hitayca's name along with a heart symbol. Following this development, the young volleyball player's lawyer again applied to the court on the grounds that the protection order had been violated.
COERCIVE IMPRISONMENT OF UP TO 10 DAYS REQUESTED
In the petition submitted by Hitayca's lawyer to the Istanbul Family Court, it was stated that Taner K. continued his following and harassing behavior through digital platforms and tried to put pressure on the national volleyball player. The lawyer requested the imposition of coercive imprisonment from 3 to 10 days under Law No. 6284. The court's decision regarding the request, which aims to ensure compliance with the protection order, is awaited.
