What Constitutes Harassment in Missouri?

According to Missouri law, harassment is defined as "engaging in an act that causes someone else emotional distress, without good cause." Emotional distress must rise above what is commonly experienced as part of day-to-day life and must be caused without a valid reason.

Common actions that may be considered harassment by Missouri courts include:

• Threatening to commit a crime with the intent to frighten or intimidate
• Using offensive or profane language that leads someone to reasonably fear for their safety
• Anonymous or repeated contact through calls, texts, emails, or social media that causes emotional distress
• Knowingly communicating with a minor in a way intended to cause fear or distress
• Persistent, unwanted communication with another person after being asked to stop
• Any conduct that causes fear or intimidation, particularly when judged against the sensibilities of the alleged victim
