Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Under Florida statute 784.048 “Harass” means to engage in a course of conduct directed at a specific person which causes substantial emotional distress to that person and serves no legitimate purpose. “Course of conduct” means a pattern of conduct composed of a series of acts over a period of time, however short, which evidences a continuity of purpose.

So a one time phone call after 10 years hardly seems to be a “course of conduct” that is required for harassment.
