James Hobgood's Case Study

A Virginia man, James Hobgood, cyberstalked an Arkansas woman after the woman broke off a brief romantic relationship. He stalked her through email, Facebook messages, and text messages demanding that the woman apologize for the breakup (Baker, 2017). At this point, the woman could have gone to law enforcement if she had the proper documentation to stop any future harassment, and she could have blocked the stalker from email, Facebook, and text messages.
