50 A.L.R. Fed. 2d 189. Validity, Construction, and Application of Provisions of Federal Interstate Stalking Statute, 18 U.S.C.A. § 2261A"The interstate stalking statute, 18 U.S.C.A. § 2261A, was enacted in 1996 as part of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). Stated broadly, 18 U.S.C.A. § 2261A prohibits defendants from traveling across state lines with the intent to injure or harass another person, and in the course of such travel, or as a result of it, placing the person or a member of the person's immediate family in fear of death or serious bodily injury. The court in U.S. v. Fullmer, 584 F.3d 132, 50 A.L.R. Fed. 2d 659 (3d Cir. 2009), held that although First Amendment principles were involved, the evidence was nevertheless sufficient to support the convictions, under 18 U.S.C.A. § 2261A, of an animal rights organization and several of its members for interstate stalking of various individuals, as well as conspiracy to stalk such individuals and aiding and abetting the stalking, and accordingly, the court affirmed all of the defendants' convictions and sentences. This annotation shall collect and discuss all of the cases that have considered the validity, construction, or application of the provisions of the federal interstate stalking statute, 18 U.S.C.A. § 2261A."
