    Default Re: Law on Catfishing

    I agree with you on the suicide. No one makes another person kill themselves.

    The specific details matter when it comes to the legality. It is not black and white. It is always wrong. It is not always illegal.

    It was stated that he did not deceive to intentionally cause heartache and stress. It sounds like the guy was a lonely SOB, maybe never even had a girlfriend before, and was trying anything he could just to win a girl over. Guys lie to girls to win them over all the effing time. I don't think he was trying to get any jollies out of it. If he was, then yeah he deserves all sorts of punishment. He may need professional help of sorts, but the girl, or her family, had the same duty to snuff him out for being ill or too far out of line, and then leaving him for it... for some reason that didn't happen, maybe she was ill too. Also, no one ever asked what the girl was doing on her end of things, could have been equally sick and malicious, maybe even contributing to his own issues. Of course, no one ever does ask that question.

    Regardless the police response was not appropriate. Police enforce the rule of law, not morality..that's what church is for and God's judgement. He was eventually acquitted of all 9 felony charges against him and ultimately landed a single misdemeanor harassment conviction, probably what he deserved all along. And if you want to label him sick as hell, then even more props to him for somehow beating all those investigations and charges while being whacked out of his mind in the process. And one last thing... a crime is not committed UNTIL it is proven in the court of law. Police and prosecutors think differently about that... but that's due to arrogance.,, which exists in all players throughout the entire US justice system.
    No you're innocent until proven guilty in court. Crimes occur all the time.
