Commonwealth v. Bibbo, 50 Mass. App. Ct. 648, 740 N.E.2d 1024 (Mass.
App. Ct. 2001)
The court held that there was sufficient evidence for the jury to
conclude that the defendant?s breaking and entry into the victim?s
house was done with the intent to commit a further act of stalking.
The events of that evening were a culmination of a pattern of
persistent harassment and following of the victim between July and
November 1995.
Commonwealth v. Alphas, 430 Mass. 8, 712 N.E.2d 575 (Mass. 1999)
The court found that the lower court had properly denied the defendant?
s motion to dismiss the stalking case against him. The stay-away order
issued in the divorce judgment was the equivalent of the other orders
listed in the stalking statute. The defendant was in violation of that
order. Additionally the lower court was correct in not admitting into
evidence the fact that another court did not grant a protective order.
This evidence was irrelevant to determine whether the defendant was
guilty of stalking in this case.
Commonwealth v. Martinez, 43 Mass. App. Ct. 408, 683 N.E.2d 699 (Mass.
App. Ct. 1997)
The court overturned the defendant?s stalking conviction and held that
the crime of stalking based on following a victim repeatedly required
more than two incidents of following. Because the state only offered
evidence of two followings, the defendant?s conviction could not
stand.
Commonwealth v. Kwiatkowski, 418 Mass. 543, 637 N.E.2d 854 (Mass.
1994)
The court held that the stalking statute was unconstitutionally vague
and overturned the defendant?s stalking conviction. The court
reinterpreted the stalking statute for future application and stated: ?
Stalking based on conduct that harasses a victim constitutes the
following: A person shall be guilty of the crime of stalking if that
person (1) willfully and maliciously engages in a knowing pattern of
conduct or series of acts over a period of time directed at a specific
person which seriously alarms or annoys that person and would cause a
reasonable person to suffer substantial emotional distress and (2)
also makes a threat with the intent to place that person in imminent
fear of death or bodily injury.? Finally, the court held that a
pattern or series in the context of this statute would involve more
than two incidents.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cyberstalking can be defined as threatening behavior or unwanted
advances directed at another using the Internet and other forms of
online and computer communications. Think it can't happen to you here
on eBay? Think again. There are plenty of people who frequent the
message boards who will pretend to be your friend, bring you in to
their good graces and then turn on you in a heartbeat if you dare
attempt to have a thought of your own that differs from theirs. There
are plenty of buyers and sellers who are less than stable who can and
will hold it against you if a transaction goes less than perfectly.
Cyberstalkers target their victims through chat rooms, message boards,
discussion forums, and e-mail. Cyberstalking takes many forms such as:
threatening or obscene e-mail; spamming (in which a stalker sends a
victim a multitude of junk e-mail); live chat harassment or flaming
(online verbal abuse); leaving improper messages on message boards or
in guest books; sending electronic viruses; sending unsolicited e-
mail; tracing another person's computer and Internet activity, and
electronic identity theft.
Similar to stalking off-line, online stalking can be quite an
unnerving experience for victims, placing them at risk of
psychological trauma, and possible physical harm. Many cyberstalking
situations do evolve into off-line stalking, and a victim may
experience abusive and excessive phone calls, vandalism, threatening
or obscene mail, trespassing, and physical assault. I have personally
experienced such a situation over this past summer myself to the point
where I have had to hire an attorney to send cease and desist letters
to my harassers.
Cyberstalking and the Law; What can you do to protect yourself.
With personal information becoming readily available to an increasing
number of people through the Internet and other advanced technology,
state legislators are addressing the problem of stalkers who harass
and threaten their victims over the World Wide Web. Stalking laws and
other statutes criminalizing harassment behavior currently in effect
in many states may already address this issue by making it a crime to
communicate by any means with the intent to harass or alarm the
victim. Be sure to check your state's websites for information on
harassment and cyberstalking. This is a real crime that is really
happening to good people just like you every single day right here on
eBay.
If You Are A Victim of Cyberstalking
1) Victims who are under the age of 18 should tell their parents or
another adult they trust about any harassments and/or threats.
2) Experts suggest that in cases where the offender is known, victims
should send the stalker a clear written warning. Specifically, victims
should communicate that the contact is unwanted, and ask the
perpetrator to cease sending communications of any kind. Victims
should do this only once. Then, no matter the response, victims should
under no circumstances ever communicate with the stalker again.
Victims should save copies of this communication in both electronic
and hard copy form. This is imperative because if you need to involve
law enforcement, you have proof of your claims.
3) If the harassment continues, the victim may wish to file a
complaint with the stalker's Internet service provider, as well as
with their own service provider. Many Internet service providers offer
tools that filter or block communications from specific individuals.
Do not count on the ISP to help you though after only one complaint.
You must stay on top of reporting each and every message you receive
that can be proven to come from your stalker.
4) As soon as individuals suspect they are victims of online
harassment or cyberstalking, they should start collecting all evidence
and document all contact made by the stalker. Save all e-mail,
postings, or other communications in both electronic and hard-copy
form. If possible, save all of the header information from e-mails and
newsgroup postings. Record the dates and times of any contact with the
stalker.
5) Victims may also want to start a log of each communication
explaining the situation in more detail. Victims may want to document
how the harassment is affecting their lives and what steps they have
taken to stop the harassment.
6) Victims may want to file a report with local law enforcement or
contact their local prosecutor's office to see what charges, if any,
can be pursued. Victims should save copies of police reports and
record all contact with law enforcement officials and the prosecutor's
office. Don't be afraid to do this. You may find it embarassing or
think that the police won't take you seriously, but they will.
Internet harassment is a felony and the police CAN and WILL pursue it
on your behalf if you have enough evidence to support your claim. I
have had to use local law enforcement as well as an attorney to help
alleviate some of my challenges with my cyberstalker.
7) Victims who are being continually harassed may want to consider
changing their e-mail address, Internet service provider, a home phone
number, and should examine the possibility of using encryption
software or privacy protection programs. Any local computer store can
offer a variety of protective software, options and suggestions.
Victims may also want to learn how to use the filtering capabilities
of email programs to block e-mails from certain addresses.
8) Furthermore, victims should contact online directory listings to
request removal from their directory.
9) Finally, under no circumstances should victims agree to meet with
the perpetrator face to face to "work it out," or "talk." No contact
should ever be made with the stalker. Meeting a stalker in person can
be very dangerous.
So, What Is Cyberbullying
Personal computers offer several advantages to individuals inclined to
harass others. First, electronic bullies can remain "virtually"
anonymous. Temporary email accounts and pseudonyms in chat rooms,
instant messaging programs, and other Internet venues can make it very
difficult for individuals to determine the identity of aggressors.
Cyberbullies can hide behind some measure of anonymity when using the
text-message capabilities of a cellular phone or their personal
computer to bully another individual, which perhaps frees them from
normative and social constraints on their behavior. Further, it seems
that cyberbullies might be emboldened when using electronic means to
carry out their antagonistic agenda because it takes less energy and
courage to express hurtful comments using a keypad or a keyboard than
with one's voice. Additionally, cyberbullies do not have to be larger
and stronger than their victims, as had been the case in traditional
bullying. Instead of a victim being several years younger and/or
drastically weaker than his bully, victim and cyberbully alike can be
just about anyone imaginable.
Second, electronic forums lack supervision. While chat hosts regularly
observe the dialog in some chat rooms in an effort to police
conversations and evict offensive individuals, personal messages sent
between users are viewable only by the sender and the recipient, and
therefore outside the regulatory reach of the proper authorities. eBay
doesn't really monitor their own discussion forums. They rely on Live
World which is a moderation service and Live World relies on the
policing to be done by the community itself. Unless a member reports a
post, Live World has no reason to look at the thread or posts.
Furthermore, there are no individuals to monitor or censor offensive
content in electronic mail or text messages sent via computer or
cellular phone. Another problem is the increasingly common presence of
computers in the private environments of adolescent bedrooms. Indeed,
teenagers often know more about computers and cellular phones than
their parents and are therefore able to operate the technologies
without worry or concern that a probing parent will discover their
experience with bullying (whether as a victim or offender).
In a similar vein, the inseparability of a cellular phone from its
owner makes that person a perpetual target for victimization. Users
often need to keep it turned on for legitimate uses, which provides
the opportunity for those with malicious intentions to engage in
persistent unwelcome behavior such as harassing telephone calls or
threatening and insulting statements via the cellular phone's text
messaging capabilities. There may truly be "no rest for the weary" as
cyberbullying penetrates the walls of a home, traditionally a place
where victims could seek refuge. Do not be afraid to get your
telephone numbers changed to protect you from such harassment. Many
phone companies will change your number at no charge to you as a one
time courtesy if you are being harassed.
How Does Harassment Differ from Stalking and Bullying?
Harassment by computer is a crime in several U.S. states. It is
distinct from stalking in that stalking typically requires two or more
contacts, whereas harassment by computer may be a single incident. It
is also different from regular harassment, because the offense
typically encompasses a range of crimes that would not be considered
harassment if conducted in person.
Connecticut was the first state to pass a statute making it a criminal
offense to harass someone by computer. Michigan and Arizona have also
passed laws banning harassment by electronic means
Conclusion
So, if you think that cyberstalking and cyberbullying and harassment
can't happen to you, think again. Unfortunately there are people in
this world who are miserable and unhappy and want to share that misery
with anyone they can grip in their claws. You have to take the reins
and help yourself. Hopefully, this guide will help you with the tools
needed to make the issue stop. Do not be afraid and do not allow the
behavior to continue. There is help out there. "
