She Claimed She Received Threatening Letters. Video Footage Showed She Sent Them To Herself.

A former professor in Australia was convicted on Thursday of sending herself threatening letters after claiming to be the victim of threats.

The Sydney Morning Herald reported that Dianne Jolley, 51, a former professor at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) was found guilty on “10 counts of conveying information she knew to be false or misleading to make a person fear for the safety of another” and one count “of causing financial disadvantage by deception.” A jury of 11 came to the decision after three days of deliberation.

Jolley claimed in 2019 that she received threatening messages, including some that contained photographs of her face and cut-up underwear. The alleged threats came after a traditional Chinese medicine course was cancelled at UTS. Jolley, as the science dean, said she received threatening messages due to the course closure, including ones that said “chop our future, we chop yours,” “I know where you live,” and “I watch you, I see what you do, you’re not safe,” according to the Herald.

Some of the threats were allegedly left at Jolley’s home, prompting UTS to spend $127,586.93 on security for the professor, including installing surveillance cameras at her home and office and employing guards at her home for two weeks.

That surveillance video caught her writing one of the letters to herself in her office.

In court, Jolley admitted to writing only one of the letters, saying she did so in an attempt to get fired because of the stress the alleged threats were causing.

Sure, Professor.

Victimhood has become an industry and a vocation. It’s fashionable to be a victim.

this stuff has been going on in the US for decades; it’s a favorite tactic of liberals, along with nooses (neese), swastikas and graphic slurs.

Yep. I generally doubt all claims of antisemitism unless it’s on a college campus or Democrat city and the alleged perps are liberals or blacks.

The actual Nazis in the USA are a prison gang and they are up to serious stuff and won’t attract attention to themselves bothering some random Jewish person.

Apparently she was not being victimized enough and needed a bigger victim card.

My tolerance for hoaxes like that has reached the end. The hoaxers need to be publicly executed for terrorism.

I’m gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And make believe it came from you
I’m gonna write words, oh, so sweet
They’re gonna knock me off my feet
Kisses on the bottom
I’ll be glad I’ve got ‘em
