aggravated stalking

English translation: acecho calificado

Spanish term or phrase: aggravated stalking
aggravated stalking is a felony
Dadou
English translation:acecho calificado
Explanation:
el acecho calificado es un delito mayor

If you are using this for a Spanish-speaking audience in the US, you can use "el acecho calificado es una felonía". Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) this crime is not typified in Latin America, therefore it is not found in any legal reference books that I checked.

Good luck.

atosigamiento bajo circunstancias agravantes


Explanation:
Stalking is a difficult one since the legal concept doesn't exist in most countries per se. "Atosigamiento" or "acoso" would mean harassment, "amenzas" would be threats (which falls into a different category).

"Aggravated" is easier. "bajo circunstancias agravadoras"

la seguida agravada


Explanation:
the other answerer was correct = as far as I know this is not a well known term in Latin America as it is here. I would use this though.
Hope this helps! Suerte!
