Criminal Harassment Charges

Criminal harassment charges generally arise in the context of personal/ domestic relationships and are often referred to as ‘stalking’. It is essentially the act of unwanted or repeated communication/ contact with other individual(s). However, not all unwanted or repeated communication rises to the level of criminal harassment. To constitute harassment the complainant must feel harassed to the point of fearing for their safety whether physically or psychologically. A summary conviction for this offence, alone, may result in a maximum penalty of 6 months jail. Due to the serious nature of the offence it is vital you retain a lawyer to defend against such a claim.
