From Law Offices of Anna R. Yum - San Diego Stalking Defense Attorney explores what individuals need to know when facing stalking allegations under California Penal Code § 646.9 in San Diego and throughout San Diego County. This episode discusses how stalking charges may involve claims of repeated conduct, harassment, credible threats, criminal protective orders, and accusations connected to electronic communications, text messages, emails, social media, GPS tracking, or prior restraining orders.
The conversation covers how California treats stalking as a wobbler offense, meaning prosecutors may file it as either a misdemeanor or felony depending on the circumstances. Listeners will hear about PC § 646.9(a), PC § 646.9(b), and PC § 646.9(c), along with how prior convictions, domestic violence allegations under PC § 273.5, restraining order violations under PC § 273.6, criminal threats under PC § 422, and court-issued protective orders can affect the severity of a case in San Diego County Superior Court.
This episode also examines potential penalties, including county jail, state prison, fines, probation conditions, firearm restrictions, immigration consequences, criminal protective orders, counseling requirements, and possible sex offender registration under PC § 290.006 in select cases. It highlights defense issues such as challenging the credible threat element, questioning digital evidence, asserting First Amendment protections, addressing false accusations, disputing mistaken identity, and evaluating whether the prosecution can prove reasonable fear beyond a reasonable doubt.
Anna R. Yum, founding attorney of the Law Offices of Anna R. Yum and a former Deputy District Attorney, represents clients facing stalking charges in San Diego, Chula Vista, El Cajon, Escondido, National City, Oceanside, Vista, Santee, La Mesa, Poway, San Marcos, Carlsbad, Encinitas, and all San Diego County Superior Court divisions, including Central Division, North County Division, East County Division, and South County Division. The episode explains why early legal action, evidence preservation, and avoiding contact with the alleged victim are important after an arrest, investigation, or criminal protective order.
