Wyoming Woman Was in the Middle of a Divorce. Then She Called the Cops on Her Ex
A last ditch effort to keep her in his orbit.
Lexi Carper (@lexicarper) from Wyoming was going through her divorce when her ex-husband threatened her about having dubious videos of her in his possession. She dismissed the concern, only to realize later that he had kept tabs on her using her old phone.
“We were together for six years. We have two kids together. I left him in the third week of August, and he had access to my phone until September eleventh,” Carper alleged on TikTok. She has been outspoken online, accusing her ex of domestic violence. However, since leaving him, she didn’t expect to have access to her phone.
“When I say that he had full access to my phone, he had full access to all my text messages, so he knew I was filing for a protection order and full custody before he even got served,” she claimed. Furthermore, Carper also said her ex had access to her photos, videos, social media accounts, her secure portal with her lawyer, and her location. She explained that before she left her ex, he suggested switching their telco subscription from Verizon to AT&T. Her ex switched subscriptions and was supposed to drive back to return her old phone, but he didn’t. Eventually, she left with the kids and moved to Wyoming. Carper thought she could finally start fresh, like this woman who fled her husband’s violence and rebuilt her family with just a suitcase.
“So, when he was on the phone calls with the kids, he started making very weird comments,” Carper said. During one of the calls after she left, her ex told her he had dubious videos of her.
Her ex-husband was watching her every move
At first, she shrugged it off, thinking these videos were in her personal cellphone and couldn’t be accessed by anyone else. Then, Carper alleged that her ex-husband also threatened her, saying that even if she got a protection order, he would still have access to the children.
“The last thing that finally tipped me off was that they had just submitted all of his financial information to my lawyer, and it all goes into a secure portal,” Carper said. One day, her email notified her and said that her secure portal had been opened. She was alarmed because she didn’t open the app. Carper alleged that less than ten minutes later, her ex-husband messaged her, telling her that he submitted his updated financials. She saw the update and didn’t believe the amount, as it was far from what he was making.
“At this point, I’m starting to piece everything together,” Carper claimed. She left the kids with her dad, drove to the grocery store, and then called her ex-husband’s mother. She confronted her former mother-in-law about how long she’d known her son had been accessing Carper’s phone.
“Well, you’ve been recording my son for years,” the woman allegedly told Carper. On TikTok, Carper confessed that she had been recording her conversations with her ex-husband for years, defending that she did it because her relationship with him was not normal. Carper added that she had been granted a three-year permanent protection order. “Me having to record your son because of the things he’s been doing or saying to me in front of the kids is not a me issue,” Carper argued.
The cops pulled up
Nevertheless, Carper came home crying, scared that her ex allegedly knew her location and had violated her privacy. But when she got home, her dad asked her if she had been posting videos on TikTok. She denied it, and when her dad urged her to check her account, she saw a mass of videos posted.
She decided to use the Find Friends feature on her phone. Carper claimed she found her phone in her ex’s house in Utah. To test her theory further, she placed her phone in lost mode. But her ex knew the password, so he opened it. Then, Carper allegedly received an email confirming the phone had been unlocked at her ex’s house. She called Verizon and had the phone wiped, after which the cops were called.
“Cops ended up going out, asking him for the phone. He refused, saying he didn’t have it. But Carper and the children are now secure. She added, “He officially got sentenced, which is why I’m able to finally talk about this now. If he does get in trouble in the next 18 months, he will automatically be charged with unlawful online impersonation.” Now, Carper is starting fresh and is engaged to the man she considers the love of her life.
