In New Jersey, it is against the law to use the Internet or any other electronic communication device to commit harassment or stalking. The Essex County Prosecutor's Office's Cyber Crimes Unit is responsible for investigating technology crimes involving child pornography, computer fraud, cyber-stalking, and cyber-bullying.
The Cyber Crimes Unit works with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies in the investigation and prosecution of technology crimes. The Unit also educates members of the community on cyber bullying.
Help For Victims
Cyber-stalking and cyber-harassment occurs when a perpetrator uses the Internet, e-mail, and/or other telecommunication technologies to relentlessly stalk, threaten, and harass another person. Victims are frequently subjected to obscene language and vile, disturbing images. Cyber-stalking may be a prelude to physical stalking or assault. Other forms of cyber-stalking include cyber-bullying, and cyber-harassment.
