Allen v. Rae

by
The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed the judgment of the district court entering a protection from harassment order against Appellant, holding that the facts as found by the court were sufficient to prove that Appellant's actions constituted criminal mischief, which constitutes an act of harassment.In entering the order of protection from harassment against Appellant for one year the district court found that Appellant had committed three or more acts of harassment pursuant to Me. Rev. Stat. 5, 4651(2)(A). The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed, holding (1) the court erred in finding because there were three or more acts of harassment; but (2) the court's findings were sufficient to establish the elements of criminal mischief, which can stand alone as a single act of harassment.
