what crime is this man guilty of?
a. date rape
b. stalking
c. rape
d. sex with a minor

Explanation:

• Option A (Date rape) involves non - consensual sexual activity during a date, but there's no indication of sexual activity here.
• Option B (Stalking) is the act of repeatedly following or harassing someone after they've asked to be left alone. The man continues to follow the girl after she told him to go away, so this fits.
• Option C (Rape) is non - consensual sexual intercourse, and there's no mention of sexual activity in the scenario.
• Option D (Sex with a minor) implies sexual contact with a minor, but the scenario doesn't mention any sexual contact, only following after being told to stop.

Answer:

B. Stalking
