LAUGH IT OFF
SIMPLE AND AGGRAVATED STALKING 101
February is the month of love, and you’ve surely heard the term, “Love makes people do crazy things.” Well, sometimes, people take it a little too far! The general crime of simple stalking occurs when an individual displays a pattern of behavior that intimidates and scares a potential victim. When stalking behavior becomes a repetitive series of events, it becomes aggravated stalking. It should be noted that this repeated behavior can be watching, following, or contacting the alleged victim via mail, phone, broadcast, or other methods that make them feel fearful and distressed. In Atlanta, Georgia, simple stalking is a misdemeanor and at most is punishable by up to 12 months in jail and a $1,000 fine. For a person to be charged with aggravated stalking, they must have a prior stalking case against them involving the same alleged victim and/or members of their family. Victims of stalking or aggravated stalking can obtain a no- contact order, also known as a restraining order, to prevent the “stalker” from continuing to contact and/or harass them. Once the stalker receives notification of the restraining order, they are prohibited from further contact and communication, or they may be charged with aggravated stalking.
