Harassment is one of those words that some people take out of context, use in a joking manner, or even use incorrectly. Someone might use the word “harassing” in place of “pestering” or “annoying,” but in the end, harassment is a real thing and one that people shouldn’t take so lightly as thousands of people get genuinely harassed on a year to year basis, leading the victim to face some horrible situations that no person should ever have to be in.

What is Harassment?

Harassment can involve different things. However, in the end, it is unwanted by the victim, and it is unlawful in the state of California.

Harassment might include verbal personal insults, racial slurs, mocking how someone talks, using gestures as a threat (e.g., making a cut throat gesture at another person), making unwelcome sexual remarks, making cruel comments based on someone’s religion or body type, mimicking someone’s disability, the list goes on. Harassment can be very serious and may lead to a physical attack, or it may be something that occurs on occasion and mentally and emotionally affects the victim.

Know that anyone can be harassed, and anyone can induce harassment upon another person. Yes – even your own spouse or ex-spouse can harass you, and regardless of the affiliation or relationship to you, the harassment is a crime and one that can be criminally punished.
