Stalking is an extremely serious accusation and must be take very seriously. What is stalking, anyway? What is a New York stalking defense? And what are your legal rights?

The term "stalking" is used to refer to repeated, unwanted contact between two people. Stalking can feel extremely threatening and take on many forms, from physical following to spying, eavesdropping, attempts to contact via the Internet or at the workplace, or contacting other family members.

Victims of stalkers usually obtain a restraining order first before pursuing more serious criminal prosecution. However, some accused stalkers are prosecuted for other crimes as well, including breaking and entering, sex crimes, fraud, violent intent, or trespassing. While the system was rightly designed to help the victims of stalking find some peace and a sense of safety, it often backfires when the wrong person is accused. Some people mistake conduct for stalking or accuse others of stalking as a means of retaliation or revenge.
