Stalking in Charlotte County, Florida
10 cases (2023-2025) · Charlotte County courts
Updated September 2026 · 2023-2025 data
From 2023 to 2025, Charlotte County prosecuted 10 stalking cases with exceptional severity. All 10 defendants were convicted; none were acquitted, had charges dismissed, or received adjudication withheld. This contrasts sharply with the statewide pattern where 20.8% of stalking cases result in adjudication withheld and 3.2% are dismissed, indicating a distinctly punitive local approach.
All convictions resulted in confinement: 30% to prison and 30% to jail, with a median sentence of 638.5 days (roughly 21 months). The 40% private attorney rate suggests defendants with resources to retain counsel, yet outcomes remained uniformly incarcerate. Average probation extended to 548 days and fines to $220—a pattern reflecting zero discretion or leniency alternatives in Charlotte County's stalking prosecutions.
