Cyberstalking

Defining the Crime of Cyberstalking

Over the past couple of decades, the internet has grown in size and usage at an unbelievable rate. This is especially true in the area of internet communication and social networking. In a matter of minutes, anyone can create a fraudulent identity and begin communicating online with anyone, anywhere. This has consequently resulted in a growing problem with cyberstalking, where sexual predators use the internet to find and solicit potential victims. Serious actions have been taken to prevent such acts, including laws specifically addressing cybercrimes and internet solicitation, but sex criminals are still on the internet hiding behind pseudonyms.

Internet Child Predators in California

Cyberstalking is particularly common with child predators. Children are much more naïve and gullible than adults, making it much easier for predators to lure them into a sense of security using a false online profile. By making friends with a child online, a sex criminal can convince the child to meet them in person and lure them into a trap leading to sexual abuse. Take immediate legal action if you are the parent of a child who is or may be the victim of cyberstalking. Each California sexual abuse lawyer at The Senators Firm has the experience and aggression to obtain results for your case.
