Note Worthy News

Man arrested today after being implicated by self in an online harassment suit. In a bizarre twist of events Micheal ???????? hired a lawyer 3 months ago after being harassed online when using both facebook and myspace. He had received a friend request from Greg ??????? who was a contact of a friend of his. Micheal's nightmare thus began. He started receiving unfavorable remarks and torrid remarks on things he would say to his other friends. Greg began ridiculing him and saying he knew where he lived and would like to visit. Greg sought the police department and followed their advice and began taking notes and removed Greg from all of his accounts. This didn't detour Greg from continuing harassment, but in a more subtle way. Using the alias Regg, Greg setup a site devoted to harassment of Micheal and spammed a large number of his contacts with the new site. Greg had registered with false information and it took sometime to track him down. Police said they had a cyber unit start a track of online activity when they noticed some peculiarities. Dept. Verrin, "We noticed that all of Greg and Regg's posts were coming from Micheal's IP, we immediately sent a team over to his house as we suspected Greg had compromised his system." It appears not only did Greg compromise Michael's system but Greg was Michael. Dr. Pallo worked with investigators and found that 6mo ago Michael suffured a minor breakdown. As a coping mechanism and unbeknown to family or friends he developed a split personality. Dr. Pallo said, "Normally we see this type of behavior act out as voice heard in a persons head, Schizophrenia, but this is a delayed version of Schizophrenia."
The case for obvious reasons was dropped and Michael is now seeing a Cyber-psychiatrist online twice a week in 2nd life.
