My question involves criminal law for the state of: Illinois.
I will start off by saying that I don't legally live in Illinois, I live in Nevada, but I am staying with my mom until I go back to school in January so what I did happened in Illinois.
If anyone knows what a roleplay forum is, it's just a site where you can play as different characters from fandoms or just characters you create by yourself. Anyway, two days ago, I thought as a stupid teenager, to just kind of troll the cboxs of various roleplay sites by posting the url of a roleplay site that I didn't like; for example:
User: JOIN
Message: sitenamehere
I did it to like a whole bunch of sites, thinking that it would be funny. I used tor to hide my ip so they wouldn't figure out it was me who was doing it. Upon looking at that sites cbox to see if anyone said anything to them about the spamming, I saw that it was happening and I freaked out and stupidly claimed to be my friend X, who got banned from the site previously and hoped that they would leave it alone since it was over. My friend knows this, I've told them and they aren't mad at me or anything.
Stupidly, I thought it would be funny the next morning to do it with a different site and so I did the same thing. Only a few times, but I stopped because they didn't react much. So I went back to doing it with the other site's url. Except I wanted the reaction to be bigger so I made it a bit more vulgar, using the 'f' word (slur) and the 'a' and 'c' word. I stopped within an hour because I saw on their cbox about them maybe contacting the police and I was like whoa, it was just a joke, I mean no harm. So that was that.
Several hours later I get a message from the board owner of that site asking where my friend lived because they were reporting them to the FBI because apparently death threats were made! Now, I think someone saw the joke I was pulling and took it and ran with it, thinking to use me as their alibi or something. Because I did not do any sort of threatening since I was only playing around. They were made last night and they said they reported all the ips that they gathered (which were probably the tor proxies) and submitted them along with it. I'm afraid that they didn't get the ip that made the actual threats and they will be pinned on me.
Will I be arrested for this? I have a heart condition and take medicine for my mental health, I'm not sure if I could handle jail.
