From the filings against them though, the charges were brought because of a statement from Barilaro and nothing else. Maybe we're all missing something but seems a bit suspect that you can have someone charged with just a statement, also, stalking ? I don't know the legal definition for it but if you're a reporter and chasing up on news in public spaces, could you be charged for stalking ?
