Anna Nasset will present her own experience as a victim of stalking for the last decade. Through the years, Anna has worked with nearly 100 service providers and community members, has successfully experienced prosecution and is currently still a victim of stalking. From the moment Anna first reported the behavior and actions of a stranger who was stalking her, to sentencing 8 years later; law enforcement, advocates, judges, prosecuting attorneys and more have worked together as a multidisciplinary team and supported her every step of the way, from across the country and within in multiple states. The involvement and support of all the service providers resulted in a conviction for felony aggravated stalking and felony cyber stalking, sentencing the defendant to the maximum 10 years in prison. Anna highlights the positive and lifesaving work of these individuals through-out her case study and gives concrete examples for all victim service providers when working with victims of stalking or other crimes. She educates on the importance of victim-centered responses for all victims of stalking and shares the success and outcome of these practices in her case and life.
