FOLLOW, HARASS OR CYBERSTALK ANOTHER (F.S. § 784.048(2))
CASE DISMISSED (NOLLE PROSEQUI)
Escambia County, FL
July 8, 2026
Client was charged in Escambia County with Cyberstalking (F.S. § 784.048(2)), a first-degree misdemeanor carrying up to 1 year in the county jail and a $1,000 fine. Stalking and cyberstalking charges carry consequences well beyond the statutory penalty — a conviction supports the entry of a permanent injunction, flags prominently in every background check, and can be used against a person in custody, employment, and housing decisions for the rest of their life.
The State extended a global offer covering this case and a companion matter, requiring adjudication of guilt, 12 months of probation, court costs, and no-contact conditions. The defense declined it and continued to litigate, obtaining multiple supplemental discovery productions and law enforcement video over the life of the case. The State filed a Nolle Prosequi. The charge was dismissed with no conviction, no probation, and no injunction. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes; each case depends on its facts and circumstances.
