Regarding the news that the Feds, i.e., US Attorney has requested the file and is re-investigating the case:

There is no "double jeopardy" in such instance. The USSC, in U.S. v. Lanza (1922) and Abbate v. U.S. (1959) has affirmed the 'dual sovereignty" principle, that "an act denounced as a crime by both national and state sovereignties in an offense against the peace and dignity of both and may be punished by each".

So -- let's see what the Feds come up with. Hmm. Using the internet means using a Federally regulated communications system.
