President Clinton signed a new federal law as part of the 1997 defense bill expanding interstate harassment crimes. The measure, applying nationwide, makes it a federal offense to cross state borders to injure or harass someone, extends restraining orders across states, and authorizes federal investigations. Stalkers face up to five years for harassment and life for murder. Actress Theresa Saldana welcomed the change, noting the relief for victims facing ongoing threats.
