A Springfield man was charged with nine counts of felony harassment for his numerous attempts to get in touch with Springfield realtors.

Court documents say Justin Heydt, 41, harassed nine women. He was charged Friday with four counts of Harassment - 1st degree and Five counts of Harassment - 2nd degree.

The documents said he called them numerous times, sent explicit text messages, lude photographs and video, as well as emails.

Georgia Rae works for Michelle Lewis and Associates. She said she was one of the targeted women.

"He somehow got my phone number," she said. "He called me at 4 o' clock in the morning and then another time at about 4:30 a.m. and then again at 5 a.m., again at about 5:30."

Rae said she didn't answer because she didn't recognized the phone number.

"So finally I text the number to get him to quit calling and I said 'Hey who is this' and he said 'Justin' and I said 'Well I think you have the wrong number," Rae said.

She said at that point he started sending her inappropriate photos. She said she tried to ignore it, but it got out of control.

"He just kept going and going and going so I blocked the number at that point," Rae said.

Heydt also reached out to the women at work.

"Then he started, if we didn't answer, [using] unknown phone calls and it would be so consistent within like 30 minutes...10 million phone calls," she said.

Court documents said Heydt called one business about 143 times within the span of an hour.

"He was just so excessive about it," Rae said.

Heydt is being held on a $25,000 bond. His bond hearing is Monday.

Rae is worried about what will happen if he is able to make his bond.

"So with his bond coming up it does make it a little more nerve wracking in case he can bond out. What happens at that point for us?" she said.
