Stalking in the District of Columbia is a course of conduct directed at a specific individual: 
With the intent to cause fear for his or her safety.
That the conduct would cause that individual to feel seriously alarmed; or
suffer emotional distress.

The Court found that the parties “shared a mutual residence” within the meaning of D.C.Code § 16–1001 (5B)(A).   That limited relationship was enough, the Court ruled, to satisfy statutory prerequisites for an “intrafamily offense.”
