In Rochester, Stalking in the Second Degree (NY PL 120.55) is a serious felony that can put you in prison for up to four years.
The particulars of charges under NY PL 120.55 are usually related to past convictions for Stalking, or other predicate crimes.
Since many of these crimes are classified as domestic violence crimes, there are many angles that you should speak to an attorney about.
Stalking in the Second Degree can also be charged when you are 21 years or older, and engage in a course of conduct intended to harass or frighten a victim under the age of 14.
In addition, if you commit Stalking in the Third Degree and display or possess a weapon, you will be charged under Stalking in the Second Degree.
