Lugar donde se comete el acoso

Explicación Simple

Si alguien acosa a otra persona, se considera que el acoso pasó donde sucedió o donde se hicieron las amenazas. También cuenta el lugar donde la víctima recibió esas amenazas.

Es como si un jugador de fútbol hiciera una falta, no importa si estaba en su campo o en el del rival, la falta se cuenta donde ocurrió.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan le envía mensajes amenazantes a María desde su casa. Aunque Juan esté en su casa, el acoso se considera que ocurrió allí, en el hogar de María, o en cualquier otro lugar donde ella reciba esos mensajes.
