Upgrades crime of stalking when victim is less than 18 years old.

This bill upgrades the penalty for stalking when the victim is under 18 years old. Currently, stalking is a fourth-degree crime; this bill makes it a third-degree crime if the victim is a minor. A third-degree stalking offense carries a potential sentence of 3 to 5 years in prison or a $15,000 fine, compared to the lesser penalties for adult victims. The change directly affects minors who are victims of stalking, increasing the legal consequences for offenders targeting children or teenagers.
