Stalking a person for a certain period of time is coming under third degree felony crime, which will lead to severe penalties. If I am getting accused of stalking case and the fault is not by my side, then I will hire a criminal defense attorney for defending my case. I hope an experienced attorney can be able to handle these kinds of case and bring favorable results. It is possible to find criminal defense attorney from online source like justia.com, avvo.com and criminaldefense.network
Try taking steps to minimise your appeal to the person stalking you. For example, take a different route home every day, rent a P.O. box, use a buddy system (always going someplace with someone you know or trust) - alert the police, flash a gun every once in a while, and so on. Record any calls and store the tapes outside of home. You also can alert your place of work to never confirm or deny your presence at work if someone calls to see if you are there (this includes when accepting deliveries for you etc).
It is worth mentioning that stalking can, although it very rarely does, become more serious. If you ever feel threatened then call the police immediately. If you have specific knowledge about the stalker that leads you to reasonably conclude that person might try to harm you, you may wish to consider taking more drastic steps - for example, changing where you work or even something as serious as moving home. You should seek advice from a qualified professional (perhaps someone at a local shelter, your local police department, or a qualified counsellor).
Go to the prosecutor's office and ask for a a protective order and/or ask to file stalking charges.
Note to contributors (who are clearly not reading the discussion page before amending!)
This answer has been modified to reflect escalation of the criminal element as a possibility because contributors keep adding it in. Escalation in a stalking case is so incredibly rare as to preclude it from any kind of conversation - but if contributors feel it necessary to include it here - you must refrain from using conjecture or scare tactics and you should treat your answer with caution. people looking this answer up will be vulnerable and scared - do not make it worse!
Nothing you can do. They will think you are a lier and a stocker.
Tell the person not to flatter themselves so much. Without concrete evidence and with you properly defending yourself, it should not get far. Maybe counter with a defirmation of character. Or play it up and turn it on them. You have no idea if that person is actually stalking you! Maybe you need the (useless) restraining order.
Prove that you weren't. Find out when you were supposedly stalking the person, then get testimnoies from people you were, receipts from shops visited, or phone records that show you couldn't have been following them then.
You should call the police or talk to a teacher or parent.
The best course of action when accused of harassment is proving your are innocent. You can show documents and present witnesses to help you prove your position.
Buy a plane ticket to Antarctica and change your named to something stupid like Whale or Poblo
Well if you are not stalking anyone then you did nothing wrong... you should ask your parents for help with that, explain the situation and then have them help you take steps to make sure that whoever accused you does not bother you. Again, if you did nothing wrong you should have nothing to worry about.
The Defendent is "being accused", therefore defending one's self
Being accused of a major crime means that you are being accused of doing something really bad, criminally. This can range from theft to assaulting someone.
In 2013, Peter Robbins, the Charlie Brown voice actor, was accused of stalking his ex-girlfriend. Peter plead guilty to threatening and stalking his ex-girlfriend. He was sentenced to one year in jail and ordered to a residential drug treatment center.
It's not a good idea.
Yes, they can depending on the circumstances. ********* If the person being harassed or followed is placed in fear that the stalker intends to injure the person, another person, or property of the person or of another person, then yes a spouse could be accused of stalking. The feeling of fear must be one that a reasonable person in the same situation would experience under all the circumstances. In some states there is also a requirement that the person accused of stalking knew or should have known that his/her actions were likely to cause fear in the "victim".
Laws cannot protect someone from being falsely accused. After an accusation has been made, you may be able to sue someone for defamation of character.
Being accused of cheating will not actually cause someone to cheat. Being accused of cheating may allow someone to justify cheating... in other words they might think, "Well, ___ thinks I'm cheating anyway. I might as well do it." However, we are each responsible for our own choices at the end of the day. If someone cheats, only they are responsible for their decisions.
if a guy thinks your stalking him because your being nice,,,,you should stop being nice to them because there not worth being nice to if they think you are stalking them.
Report it to the authorities.
yes
If you are being stalked, you should inform the police immediately.
