Legal Question in Criminal Law in Oklahoma
What lengths would a prosecutor go?
Can you tell me to what lengths the prosecutors office will go if I report email & phone harassment?
I have received several dozen harassing emails and several phone calls from someone for the past 5 months. I believe it is my ex boyfriend. the email addresses are all made up and the calls are from phone numbers other than his number. He may have figured out how to spoof calls and is obviously creating fictious email addresses.
I was told I should report it the the prosecutors office. To what lengths would they investigate this matter? could they search his bank accounts? his ISP? would they court order his phone co records? would they write him a letter to make him stop? and could they arrest and extradite him from another state?

Re: What lengths would a prosecutor go?
The extent of the investigation would depend upon the type of and extent of the threats you received. If they were death threats and particularly if they appear to be serious the investigation will be greater than if they are just annoying.

Forget a prosecutor. You start an investigation with the local police department. They take a report. They can put a trap on your fone to see who it is that is calling (the fone number). You can look at the end of the detail on your emails to see the exact computer the messages are coming from, forget the email mailbox names.
Best advice, change both your fone number(s) and your email addresses. This has not risen to a criminal violation that any sober law enforcement officer is going to get involved in.

not really. it would be very "unique" to find a prosecutor who would have the time or desire to properly investigate and/or attempt to prosecute this person under the circumstances you describe. your best option would be to retain a civil attorney with the time and incentive to efficiently take care of the problem.
