It is illegal to harass a person, known or unknown by the suspect, in any form. The victim may request and obtain a restraining order in an effort to create a distance between the suspect and the victim.

The California penal code defines stalking as when a person willfully, maliciously and repeatedly follows or harasses another person and makes a credible threat with the intent to place that person in reasonable fear for his or her safety.

A person convicted of stalking, may serve up to several years in prison, depending of the severity of the case.

Cyberstalking is the same behaviors of a person via the Internet and can result in similar punishments.
