stalking

stalking is generally a pattern of behavior directed at another person that causes them to suffer emotional distress or to reasonably fear for their safety or for the safety of someone close to them, such as a family member.

unwanted contact: following or watching someone; unwanted and repeated face-to-face, phone, text, or email communication; continuing to contact someone after they have asked that it stop.

digital stalking: tracking or following someone digitally, such as through social media; posting derogatory, defamatory, or explicit information about the person online.

masking identity: repeatedly contacting someone over the phone using masked or “spoofed” numbers.
