What if they never asked you to stop?
In New York, if the person never explicitly asked you to stop, it might not automatically qualify as harassment. However, if the behavior is persistent and causes the person substantial emotional distress or fear, it could still be considered harassment. Context and intent are crucial in determining this. Would you like more information on how intent is assessed in these cases?
Yes
In New York, intent in harassment cases is assessed based on:
- The repeated nature of the behavior.
- Whether the behavior was intended to cause fear or distress.
- The impact on the victim, even if they didn't explicitly ask you to stop.
