Stalking Charges in Georgia
According to Georgia's stalking law (§ 16-5-90 of Georgia's criminal statutes), you can be charged with stalking if you follow, contact or place someone under surveillance without his or her consent, after he or she has explicitly told you to stop or with the express purpose of harassing or intimidating him or her. He or she may file for a restraining order in order to force you to stay away.
Defense Against Aggravated Stalking Charges
Aggravated stalking charges can only be filed after stalking charges have been filed first, and only if you violate the conditions of a court order previously put into place. A violation of the court order can include driving by the person's house, calling him or her on the phone or even sending him or her text messages or e-mails. Even though the offense itself may seem inconsequential, the penalties for aggravated stalking can be very severe because it involves the violation of a court order.
