A US woman is facing a one-year prison sentence for violating a protection order by tagging victims in a Facebook post and making derogatory comments about them.
Despite being divorced from her ex-husband Rafael Calderon and issued with a protection order preventing her from contacting her ex-husband or his family, Maria Gonzalez of New York decided to tag her former sister-in-law Maribel Calderon in a Facebook post and call her 'stupid', according to the New York Law Journal.
Gonzalez also tagged Calderon in another post saying: "You and your family are sad... You guys have to come stronger than that!! I'm way over you guys but I guess not in ya agenda."
Protection orders, also known as restraining orders, are court-issued orders that require one person (the one being restrained) to stay away from the person requiring protection, and this means specifically that the restrained person is not to hurt, threaten or communicate with the protected person at all.

She's a liar, as well.
Guess she’s not way over her ex-in laws
Not me.My wife dislikes her family as much or more than I do.
Wow. I have been called worse in posting on my local papers blog. Can I sue them?
Only if you’re under a court ordered restraining order!
It won’t ever prevent actual physical attacks, but is marginally useful against “social media” attacks.
Good to know it’s worth something to someone, other than an additional criminal charge against a violent assailant, after the beating or murder!
