This does NOT fall with the pervue of any OHIO or federal law that you quoted. Now, since you've totally missed the point, would you like to ATTEMPT to answer why?

State Computer Harassment or "Cyberstalking" Laws
Law enforcement agencies estimate that electronic communications are a factor in from 20 percent to 40 percent of all stalking cases. Forty-four states now have laws that explicitly include electronic forms of communication within stalking or harassment laws. State laws that do not include specific references to electronic communication may still apply to those who threaten or harass others online, but specific language can make the laws easier to enforce. Two reports from the U.S. Department of Justice provide detailed information on cyberstalking: Stalking and Domestic Violence: Report to Congress (May 2001) and Cyberstalking: A New Challenge for Law Enforcement and Industry (Aug. 1999).

CyberAge Stalking, from LLRX.com, discusses the prevalence of cyberstalking and outlines state and federal statutes and case law. It also provides resources and information about how to protect against this crime. Cyberstalking: Navigating a Maze of Laws, (New York Law Journal, July 2002) describes various statutory definitions and provisions in several state cyberstalking laws.
