Cyberstalking and harassment FAQ
These are the most frequently asked questions we receive about cyberstalking and/or harassment.
We have more extensive information about cyberstalking and cyberharassment, as well as one-to-one help and a self-help interactive guide and tutorial.
What is the profile of a typical cyberstalking/harassment victim?
Cyberstalking occurs more often with women as the victim, although that is gradually changing. Our most recent survey discloses that men are being cyberstalked and harassed more frequently by women than ever before. To view our survey results, visit 2003 cyberstalking Survey.
Children who are stalked by adult sexual predators are not considered victims of cyberstalking, but rather are considered luring victims or victims of child exploitation. You can read our Margaret’s Story page for more information about how stalkers/harassers target children online for abuse/exploitation by others. (If you want to learn more about how pedophiles hunt children online, read our anatomy of a pedophile page.)
