Victims of stalking — especially those harassed by strangers — will get more protection if a new bill passes into state law, anti-stalking advocates said on Friday.
Known as the CREEP Act — an acronym for Ceasing Repeated and Extremely Egregious Predatory Behavior — the bill extends civil protections to New Yorkers who are being stalked, even those allegedly harassed by someone outside of their family or intimate relationship.
