SUMMARY: Cyberstalking is a serious crime that involves using technology to harass, threaten, and intimidate someone, causing fear and emotional stress. In Mississippi, it is a felony, and police actively pursue offenders, like Teresa Woods, recently arrested for using fake social media accounts to harass victims. Blocking numbers and profiles, reporting to police, and obtaining no-contact orders are vital steps to stop cyberstalking. Victim services provide emergency safety plans and support, especially if harassment escalates. Young adults, particularly women aged 18-29, are most at risk, but anyone can be targeted. Documenting harassment is crucial for protection and legal action.

Cyberstalking is a form of stalking that involves the use of technology, like messaging apps, social media and email.
