Kristin Raworth was afraid to go home Saturday night.

The Edmonton woman came forward with sexual harassment allegations against former federal cabinet minister Kent Hehr this week.

Now she wishes she had never said a word.

Raworth was greeted with broad support when she tweeted allegations about Hehr, still a Calgary MP, Wednesday night.

That has since turned to death threats on social media and email, threatening voice mails left on her work line, and 3 a.m. calls to people close to her, saying they’re going to track her down.

The final straw was Saturday, when a note was shoved under her door at home.

“Shut the f–k up,” it said, “or we’re going to come after you.”

A public servant with the Alberta government, Raworth is now under the watch of legislature security.

She has been told not to be alone.

Raworth spoke with Postmedia late Saturday afternoon. By then, she was “completely cried out.”

At first, Raworth said, she tried to brush it off. She has since gone to police.

She detailed threats that range from wishes she will be injured to those who hope she is raped or killed. Others call her a “whore.”

Raworth said her boss in the Alberta public service has been incredible in his support but, beyond that, she feels let down by the provincial and federal governments.

She said she has contacted a friend in the prime minister’s office Saturday morning, detailing the threats and asking someone from the party to publicly condemn the threats or do something to slow the onslaught of hatred being thrown at her.

She also asked them to reach out to her former boss Amarjeet Sohi, federal infrastructure minister and Liberal MP for Edmonton-Mill Woods, but has heard nothing.

Meanwhile, Liberal party whip Pablo Rodriguez confirmed Sunday that he had received another complaint about Hehr and passed it to the person in charge of the inquiry into the former minister’s behaviour.

In an emailed statement Saturday night, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s office said, “It is crucial that every person who comes forward has a safe space to tell their story. We have advised the appropriate security agencies on these matters.”

Alberta Status of Women Minister Stephanie McLean said in a email Sunday afternoon that threats of violence against Raworth are not acceptable “and must stop now.”

As Raworth’s employer, McLean said the government has provided security and counselling services to the Edmonton woman and is discussing how to further support her.

On Wednesday night, Raworth tweeted that on her first day of work as a Progressive Conservative legislative assistant in 2008, “I was told to avoid being in an elevator with Kent Hehr. He would make comments. He would make you feel unsafe.”

She later told Postmedia she wanted to encourage a conversation about political staffers working in an environment where they don’t feel they can speak up against powerful MLAs.

As a result, Hehr resigned his cabinet post and lawyer Christine Thomlinson is to conduct an independent investigation for the government.

“I can’t go home tonight, because I’m worried about what will happen to me,” Raworth said Saturday.

“I wish I hadn’t said anything. If this is the price, it’s just not worth it to me. Not now.”
