    Default Re: A Forum Member Keeps Harassing Me

    saying mean things to you on an internet forum does not meet the definition of criminal harassment.

    N.Y. Penal Law § 240.25 Harassment in the first degree.

    A person is guilty of harassment in the first degree when he or she
    intentionally and repeatedly harasses another person by following such
    person in or about a public place or places or by engaging in a course
    of conduct or by repeatedly committing acts which places such person in
    reasonable fear of physical injury. This section shall not apply to
    activities regulated by the national labor relations act, as amended,
    the railway labor act, as amended, or the federal employment labor
    management act, as amended.
    Harassment in the first degree is a class B misdemeanor.
    N.Y. Penal Law § 240.26 Harassment in the second degree.

    A person is guilty of harassment in the second degree when, with
    intent to harass, annoy or alarm another person:
    1. He or she strikes, shoves, kicks or otherwise subjects such other
    person to physical contact, or attempts or threatens to do the same; or
    2. He or she follows a person in or about a public place or places; or
    3. He or she engages in a course of conduct or repeatedly commits acts
    which alarm or seriously annoy such other person and which serve no
    legitimate purpose.
    Subdivisions two and three of this section shall not apply to
    activities regulated by the national labor relations act, as amended,
    the railway labor act, as amended, or the federal employment labor
    management act, as amended.
    Harassment in the second degree is a violation.
