The Today show featured a story this morning about the recent charges filed on Lori Drew, the woman who created the fake Myspace account that many believed played a pivotal role in Megan Meier’s decision to commit suicide. The AP reported that Drew is charged with “one count of conspiracy and three counts of accessing protected computers without authorization to obtain information to inflict emotional distress on the girl.”
This case may very well set a legal precedent for cyberbullying incidents and it will be interesting to follow it through to trial and the inevitable appeal that will follow.
