FormsOfSexualViolence:
Stalking
Stalking is a crime. It is intentionally engaging in a course of conduct directed at a specific person that:
•  is likely to cause reasonable fear of material harm to the health, safety or property of that person,
a member of that person’s immediate family or a third party with whom that person is acquainted;
or
•  causes material harm to the mental or emotional state of such person, where such conduct
consists of following, telephoning or initiating communication or contact with such person, a
member of the person’s family or a third party with whom the person is acquainted; or
•  is likely to cause such person to reasonably fear that her/his employment, business or career is
threatened, when such conduct consists of appearing, telephoning or initiating communication or
contact at such person’s place of employment or business, and the actor was previously clearly
instructed to stop.
•  Specific actions, such as sending a birthday card or standing across the street from someone’s
house may be legal, but if they are part of a series of actions that cause fear or distress, they may
be illegal.
•  Stalking includes cyber-stalking – using electronic forms of communication, including social media,
to engage in the conduct described above.
