During police questioning, the teenager explained that his actions were driven by the pain of unrequited love.

“- I wanted the young lady to notice that the messages were written by me when she goes to work or out to dinner. I admit my guilt, and I regret what I did,” the young man explained. 

“Why did you do it?” 

“I drew because I was heartbroken. I wanted the person to know that I love her.”
