Long story short, I 26M fell victim to bullying in high school 16M (I was getting beaten up, insulted regularly, called the n word, harassed on social media) all by this one bully in particular. He'd say sorry always then just repeat the behaviour. It came to a point where he stopped because we graduated and didn't see each other anymore.

He sent me an apology on Facebook a few years after high school though. Fast forward to today, I decide to message him and tell him Ive been praying for him and wishing him good things as he's a lovely person. and mentioned how he probably feels bad for how he treated me back then and I acknowledged that the message might go unseen but just wanted to let him know. He responds and says it looks like im doing well in life and said he felt bad about how he treated me and said he wishes me nothing but the best.

I then start to dig a little deeper asking why he'd beat me up and call me the n word etc. He straight out denied those claims and says we both know that never happened. I sent him a screenshot of him calling me the n word and he said he doesn't remember saying that but said he can't deny the photo and then apologizes (then doubles down and says he doesn't remember using that word to me or anyone else for that matter and brings up how one of his close childhood friends is black and no one deserves that). When I mention who that close friend is, I say "if you're referring to such and such, he told me how you and your friends would drop the n bomb around him regularly when I asked him why you and your friend use to always call me the n word" (he didn't address this part of the message). He even goes as far as to say I was his "closest friend" at the time ( I can confirm, this is absolutely false. I was never his friend. not by a long shot and that's not me even being defensive or resentful, it's just the facts).

He then asks me what I want from him and I tell him I want him to get closer to christ our saviour and he says "ive actually been repairing my connection with god and doing some personal healing and been reading the bible daily. what do you actually want from me though?" We end up going back and forth until he randomly throws an accusation that Ive been spreading rumours about him over the last two years about him raping his ex girlfriend and how I can't deny it since he has my IP address pinned.

I told him what he plans on doing with that info because intimidation and what he's claiming would be grounds to take legal action and said we can take this to court. He responds and says "for the hundredth time, im done with these conversations, bye for now".
