Sex Crimes - Stalking
Stalking is a serious crime, which is vigorously prosecuted in California where anti-stalking laws were first established. If you are under investigation or have already been charged with stalking, you should contact the law offices of Jeffery Rubenstein today for expert consultation and defense of your case. The definition of stalking is “a series of unwanted actions or conduct that puts a person in fear for their safety.” In many cases, stalking begins with persistent behavior that is not criminal, which then progresses to stalking behavior that can be punished under criminal stalking laws. Stalking cases may also include additional related charges such as:
- Trespassing
- Vandalism
- Burglary
- Criminal threats
- Obscene, threatening or annoying phone calls
There are also different types of stalking that can bring about criminal charges, such as: cyber stalking (stalking on the Internet), workplace stalking, celebrity stalking and other behavior or harassment which puts the victim in fear for their safety.
