Understanding Cyberstalking and How We Can Help

Cyberstalking is a criminal offense that involves the use of electronic communication to harass, threaten, or intimidate an individual. This form of harassment can occur through emails, social media, text messages, or other digital platforms. Cyberstalking charges can lead to severe consequences, including restraining orders, fines, and even jail time, depending on the severity of the actions and the harm caused to the victim.

How Cyberstalking Is Determined

Law enforcement agencies and prosecutors determine cyberstalking based on several key factors, including:

1. Repeated Harassment:

   A pattern of persistent unwanted communication that causes emotional distress or fear to the recipient.

2. Threatening Messages:

   Any messages that contain threats of harm, violence, or intimidation toward the victim.

3. Unauthorized Surveillance:

   Tracking a person’s online activity, location, or personal information without consent.

4. False Information:

   Spreading false, damaging, or defamatory information about the victim online.

5. Intent to Harm:

   Prosecutors must prove that the accused intended to harass or intimidate the victim through their online actions.

6. Digital Evidence:

   Emails, social media posts, and other electronic records are analyzed to establish a pattern of cyberstalking behavior.
