What is the legal definition of harassment in Nebraska?

For the purpose of getting a harassment protection order, the state of Nebraska defines “harassment” as intentionally doing multiple acts (a “course of conduct”) that seriously terrify, threaten, or intimidate you. There must also be no lawful (legitimate) reason for doing those acts.1

Some examples of this could be following, stalking, repeatedly contacting, or physically holding (restraining/detaining) you.1
