Aggravated Harassment cases in Saratoga County result in conviction in about seven out of ten instances, a notably higher rate than the statewide average of 54 percent. Over the past six years, dismissals have remained relatively flat, hovering just under 30 percent, while statewide cases see dismissals in roughly 46 percent of prosecutions.

Three-quarters of aggravated harassment defendants have their charges reduced—predominantly to simple Harassment (59 percent of reductions) or Disorderly Conduct (41 percent). Most defendants (68 percent) are released before trial without bail, though when bail is set, the median amount is $750. Among those convicted, fines are the dominant sentence at nearly 47 percent, while jail sentences are uncommon at 3.4 percent. These patterns suggest that while Saratoga County pursues conviction more often than statewide peers, actual sentences remain relatively lenient once convictions occur.
