Stalking

“Stalking” means to engage in conduct which the actor knows or has reason to know would cause the victim under the circumstances to feel frightened, threatened, oppressed, persecuted, or intimidated, and causes this reaction on the part of the victim regardless of the relationship between the actor and victim. A conviction for Stalking can have very serious consequences. Depending on the circumstances, a person with such a conviction can expect to be sentenced to serve up to ten years in prison. A fine of up to $20,000.00 can also be imposed. In addition to these punitive consequences, a person convicted of stalking may also lose their right to vote, run for office, or possess firearms for the rest of their lives.
