What conditions must exist for a victim of aggravated stalking to be notified?

For a victim of aggravated stalking to be notified, the key condition is related to the actions involving the perpetrator's status in the justice system, specifically when the perpetrator is released or has a court hearing. This notification is essential because it allows the victim to be aware of the potential risks to their safety that may arise from the perpetrator's actions or legal proceedings.

This requirement is grounded in the recognition of the victim's need for protection and to make informed decisions regarding their safety. Victims often require advanced notice to take necessary precautions or seek support services, ensuring they remain safe when the perpetrator's situation changes.

In contrast, having a prior conviction, the need for a victim to request notification, or the specific condition of the perpetrator being held without bail are not universally mandated conditions for notification. These do not address the immediate concerns of victim safety and awareness in relation to the perpetrator's legal status in the ongoing context of aggravated stalking.
