Brian Randall Shaffer is an American medical student at the Ohio State University College of Medicine.

On the night of March 31, 2006, Shaffer went out with friends to celebrate the beginning of spring break; later, he was separated from them, and they assumed he had gone home.

However, a security camera outside the entrance to a Columbus bar recorded him briefly talking to two women just before 2 a.m., April 1, and then walking off-screen without any further evidence of him leaving the area.

Shaffer has not been seen or heard from since.

Stalking is an unwanted and/or repeated surveillance or contact by an individual or group toward another person.

Stalking behaviour's are interrelated to harassment and intimidation and may include following the victim in person or monitoring them.

According to a 2002 report by the U.S. National Centre for Victims of Crime, "virtually any unwanted contact between two people that directly or indirectly communicates a threat or places the victim in fear can be considered stalking."

Eleanor Williams is an English criminal who made false claims of multiple serious crimes, including accusations of trafficking, rape, blackmail, and physical violence, none of which were found to have occurred.

Following her 2022 trial, Williams was found guilty on nine counts of perverting the course of justice, contrary to English common law.

She was sentenced to eight and a half years in prison.

The fictitious claims spread by Williams on the internet had lasting impacts, including multiple attempted suicides, a rise in racially motivated violence, and the creation of the Online Safety Act 2023, which criminalises the spread of false, harmful information online.
