HARASSMENT
Under CRS 18-9-111, harassment has two elements that prosecutors need to prove in order to convict defendants at trial. The first element is that the defendant intended to harass, annoy, or alarm the alleged victim. The second element is that the defendant did any of the following seven actions:
1. Subjecting the alleged victim to physical contact, such as hitting, kicking, or shoving him or her.
2. Making obscene gestures or remarks to the alleged victim in public.
3. Following the alleged victim in a public place.
4. Calling the alleged victim repeatedly without a legitimate purpose.
5. Contacting the alleged victim at inconvenient hours that invade his or her privacy.
6. Repeatedly taunting the alleged victim in a way likely to provoke an unlawful response. Or
7. Making obscene or threatening comments over the phone or internet to the alleged victim, commonly called cyber-bullying.
Harassment can be a petty offense or a misdemeanor depending on the nature of the harassment. Discrimination-based harassment is always a class 1 misdemeanor, carrying up to 364 days in jail and/or up to $1,000 in fines.
