 6        (720 ILCS 5/12-7.4) (from Ch. 38, par. 12-7.4)
 7        Sec. 12-7.4.  Aggravated stalking.
 8        (a)  A person commits aggravated stalking when he or she,

11             (1)  causes bodily harm to the victim;
12             (2)  confines or restrains the victim; or
13             (3)  violates  a  temporary  restraining  order,  an
14        order of protection, or  an  injunction  prohibiting  the
15        behavior described in subsection (b)(1) of Section 214 of
