The term stalking has numerous definitions, many of which differ from state to state, but generally the term refers to repeated behaviors or actions that one person makes toward another individual which are bothersome, harassing, and instill fear. There are many different types of crimes which are considered stalking, and depending upon the particulars of the crime for which the accused has been charged, he or she may be facing a misdemeanor or felony.

Stalking

Georgia Code 16-5-90 (a)(1) states that "A person commits the offense of stalking when he or she follows, places under surveillance, or contacts another person at or about a place or places without the consent of the other person for the purpose of harassing and intimidating the other person."

In the State of Georgia, a stalking conviction will result in a misdemeanor.

Aggravated Stalking

According to the Georgia Code 16-5-91 (a) "A person commits the offense of aggravated stalking when such person, in violation of a bond to keep the peace posted pursuant to Code Section 17-6-110, temporary restraining order, temporary protective order, permanent restraining order, permanent protective order, preliminary injunction, good behavior bond, or permanent injunction or condition of pretrial release, condition of probation, or condition of parole in effect prohibiting the behavior described in this subsection, follows, places under surveillance, or contacts another person at or about a place or places without the consent of the other person for the purpose of harassing and intimidating the other person."
