Most stalkers use multiple tactics to surveil, contact, sabotage, threaten, and otherwise scare their victims —and their behaviors can escalate from indirect ways of making contact (phone calls or texts) to more direct contact (delivering gifts or showing up where the victim is).

For more than a decade, Shannon Keeler pressed authorities to bring charges against a man who sneaked into her college dorm room in 2013 and sexually assaulted her. Only after discovering a series of disturbing Facebook messages sent from her perpetrator years after the attack did prosecutors agree to pursue the case.

Her experience underscores the challenges faced by sexual assault victims when navigating the legal system and why survivors are often reluctant to come forward.
