What Is Stalking Under Massachusetts Law?
In Massachusetts, stalking is defined under M.G.L. c. 265, § 43 as:
🔹 Willfully and maliciously engaging in a pattern of conduct or series of acts over time, directed at a specific person, that seriously alarms or annoys them and would cause a reasonable person substantial emotional distress
🔹 Making a threat with the intent to place the person in imminent fear of death or bodily injury
These acts may include contact via mail, phone, or electronic communication devices.
Legal Consequences of Stalking Charges
A stalking conviction in Massachusetts can result in:
⛓️ Up to 5 years in state prison or 2½ years in a house of correction
💰 Fines up to $1,000

College disciplinary proceedings are separate from legal cases, meaning students may face sanctions even if criminal charges are reduced or dismissed.
