    Well, if it comes to that, there is no proof that the mother did what the OP claims she did, now is there?

    Perhaps this young lady thought her beau was cheating and decided to make sure he could no longer flirt with anyone during their enforced period of non-contact and changed his settings in an attempt to secure his fidelity?

    She is, after all, 15.

    :cool:

    Considering she linked her own personal phone number to the account, yes, I know she did it.

    Technically no you don't; you only know what was done, not who did it. You may suspect, and you may be right. But if we're dealing with proof, as your mysterious defender is trying to claim, you don't have it.

    The FBI went after Larry Mendte.

    Like Larry Mendte, she might get only house arrest. But she will have a criminal record.

    The FBI will NOT get involved in a case of FB or email malfeasance. They just won't. I have worked with the FBI in computer fraud cases, and there has to be a HUGE amount of money involved, or, the stakes have to involve something serious as well as crossing state lines to get them remotely interested. This kind o fa case won't get the local police and prosecutors excited. The feds won't even consider looking at it.

    Then call your local police ... or, call the police where mom lives. I suspect you will get little more than a passing yawn, MAYBE a short report to boot. Don't expect any prosecution even if they DO ignore complaints that you are contributing to the delinquency of a minor or committing some unlawful sexual acts.

    So, stay away from the child. Move on.

    The OP states that the mother THINKS that the OP and the girl have had sex. There is no proof that they HAVE had sex.

    With due respect for your posting history under other usernames, which suggests an obsession that adults should be able to have sex with children, the OP indicate that mom has "pressed charges". In typical parlance that means, "I have been charged." The question of whether or not a subsequent order of protection was violated is irrelevant to a previously filed criminal charge.

    There are other possibilities. It's possible that your girlfriend is trying to help you with your charges by setting up her mother. It's possible that you did it, or that you had somebody else make the changes upon your request, and are hoping that you can use an accusation against the mother to try to get out of the protective order or introduce doubt to your criminal case. What can you prove?

    I don't know what posting history you're talking about. I came here to talk about computer crimes and hacking.

    And the OP said that the mom did not press charges for three months. After three months, she filed an order of protection. It is obvious that the OP means that, for three months, the mom did not take any legal action at all. And then, the only legal action she took was to get the order of protection.

    I'm sure that a forensic examination of the phone and the Facebook website will show where those changes came from. If the mother did not do anything, then she can say so at her trial.

    Also, the OP has not indicated that he is currently facing any criminal charges.

    So why did the FBI get involved in the Larry Mendte case? What was so serious about that?

    There can be a host of reasons why mom did not get an order of protection for three months. It doesn't matter in the slightest.

    Yeah, no one is going to do that. Not for access to a FB account that, arguably, was tacitly consensual since you provided the girl a phone that had access pre-programmed in.

    All the more reason for him to avoid any further contact with the kid.

    Beats me. I'm not familiar with it beyond headlines I just looked up online. But, it may have had something to do with the profile of the parties involved. Or, it may have had something to do with details that were not clear based upon the news articles. As I said, the OP can always report this ... but, the odds of the FBI investigating is probably about as good as Hillary being indicted (i.e. zilch). The FBI and local police simply do not have the resources to investigate every claim of unlawful FB or email account access. They simply do not. If a person wants to protect their accounts, they need to keep their passwords private (not give them to a minor child in a phone they bought for said child), and regularly CHANGE their passwords to avoid other forms of seizing an account.
