The penalties for stalking vary from state to state. Someone being charged with stalking, can be either a misdemeanor, or class C felony, depending on criminal history, and the specific facts about the individual charge. For the misdemeanor, the penalty is up to 1 year imprisonment, and/or $1000 fine. For the felony charge, the penalty can be anywhere from 16 months to 3 years in county jail.
