On the morning of June 6, the woman contacted police and reported the violent threats, according to a police report obtained by Miami-based ABC affiliate WPLG.
After receiving some of the messages in question, the victim pleaded with the defendant, according to law enforcement.
“And if I don”t let you see me, you won’t stop bothering me?” she asked. “Christian, please stop.”
To which the man allegedly answered: “No, never – until you die.”
The alleged threats became graphic as time went by.
“I am going to explain to you how I will decapitate you and hang your head on the balcony of your house,” Arias Acosta said at one point, according to the police report.
The victim provide law enforcement with recordings of the threats, police say.
