Lori Drew
Finally! This horrid woman needs to be locked up for a very long time (and perhaps “harassed” a little by her cellmates as well).
What the heck is wrong with people?
Good! I’m sure she didn’t mean for the girl to kill herself but what kind of adult does that to a junior high aged student? What a despicable thing to do.
Personally, I cannot see the pleasure one would get from tormenting another human being, whether physically or mentally.
Can’t read article, at work just popping in but I remember hearing on the news right after it became public she was getting death threats and people were throwing stuff at her house. Awwww, so sad!
It will be interesting to follow this case. Lori Drew is a scumbag.
You know there is a special place in hell for people like this.
Lori Drew is miserable scum, but I am dubious that a federal court, much less one in Los Angeles, has jurisdiction here. The theory is apparently that Drew committed wire fraud by misrepresenting “Josh”’s identity to MySpace. I am not sure that that charge will stick here.
I know what this woman did was terrible, but I wonder how it qualifies as a crime, federal or not. There are tons of spiteful comments which are continuously spewed through the Internet, so I’m not sure why her case is special.
I think that the best approachds for the case would be a civil suit against the perpetrator for harassment and the like.

What a bunch of freaking hypocrites. You are applauding a woman getting federally indicted for pretending she was someone other than herself on the internet. Lock up half the country, already including most of you.
What is wrong with you people?
Nobody was harrassed. What went on there meets NO legal definition of harrassment.
There were exactly ZERO attempts by the girl to break off contact.
There were exactly ZERO attempts by the girl to block the user in question.
“Torment”? Ridiculous. No reasonable person would have been “tormented” by a person she voluntarily chatted with on MySpace for a month.
“Oh, I am SOOOO tormented because those girls who I meet on MySpace really aren’t girls at all but the owners of adult sites. I’m soooooo tormented, who can I sue?”
You “conservatives” get the government you want. Enjoy it. Before smarting off to or zotting someone on this forum, you might take into account their mental well-being before doing so. You might find yourself under federal indictment.
