Cyberstalking

Federal Criminal Defense Attorney, David J. Joffe has personally handled over 500 Federal cases. Call today for a confidential consultation.

The newest form of stalking relies upon electronic means — chiefly the Internet — to track down, threaten, and harass individuals. Cyberstalking has yet to be singled out as a federal crime, though legislation has been introduced. The methods of stalking online differ greatly from those of the physical variety. Local and federal authorities rely on traditional stalking laws, however, to prosecute offenders, unless the offense takes place in a state with specific cyberstalking statutes.

The chief distinction between the “conventional” form of stalking and its high-tech offshoot is that cyberstalking can happen regardless of the distance between the offender and the victim. Physical contact is usually absent. Cyberstalking harassment generally takes the form of malicious rumors in online communities, offensive or threatening email, or attempts to disable the victim’s computer with a virus.

Cyberstalking is a relatively new crime, having originated in the 1990s. As such, legislation is surely on its way to strengthen penalties and further define this form of harassment. As technology evolves, crimes and subsequent laws will inevitably evolve, too. What will not change, however, are the civil and Constitutional rights of the accused. If you have been charged with cyberstalking, protect your rights with the help of an attorney with the skills to traverse such an expanding landscape.
