Portland Stalking Orders

Have you been accused of stalking?

Stalking is the crime of engaging in unwanted contact with another person. The action must be repeated and cause a person apprehension. Stalking can be charged as either a misdemeanor or felony offense depending on the acts of the case. A person convicted of misdemeanor stalking will be facing penalties that include:

• One year in county jail
• Fines of up to $6,250.00

The violation of a stalking order can lead to Class C felony charges, and result in incarceration in a state prison.

Stalking orders are issued by the court to protect a person who believes they are being harassed by another individual and/or are in fear of the safety. They are often for an unlimited duration, and prohibit the person named in the order from having any further contact with the alleged victim. Contact a Portland criminal defense attorney if you are the subject of a stalking order or have violated a stalking order's conditions to discuss your situation and legal alternatives.
