What is text pesting? A third of young women experience this type of harassment

When 28-year-old publicist Millie got out of her taxi and into the safety of her home, she expected to slide on a pair of slippers and watch some trashy reality TV, as she would most nights. But this time, her night turned into one of fear after a "super weird text" reading "Hi gorgeous" from an unknown phone number. Millie and others asked to be referred to by their first-name only for privacy reasons.

Millie asked the sender who they were, and they quickly replied telling her it was her taxi driver.
