My question involves criminal law for the state of: Colorado
A family member of mine is the victim of being impersonated online by a now known individual who appears to have done so in an attempt to intimidate her as a witness to an alleged crime committed by the individual doing the impersonating.
Multiple blogs on Blogger. Multiple profiles and accounts on LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. Also using the name of my family member's company as the registrant for some of the blogs.
After a year of very hard work, all but one blog have been managed to get shut down by my family member. Only one blog remains live.
My question is: "What exactly is criminal law regarding online impersonation in the State of Colorado? We have done all the needed things such as an IC3 complaint as the routing of some of the impersonations crossed interstate lines. We have turned the case to authorities. The problem being encountered is that there is so much extreme content, crossing so many social profiles and it all appears to be new territory for local authorities. No one seems to agree on how to read law.
There is financial loss, verifiably, to the professional, long standing reputation that shows revenue losses in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. There was also an instance, due to content, where physical danger from someone feeding off the information contacted my family member. This was a very dangerous person with a criminal background and record. At multiple points as the individual doing the impersonating increased their anxiety at being caught, they began posting additional content to blogs. Which, in our view, constitutes stalking.
When we went for a protection order while investigating, the Judge would not give that because there was no specific language stating the keyboard is the weapon of a stalker.
Please give us your view of Colorado Law for computer crime and please, if you can, cite specific statutes we could look at ourselves. We are having trouble locating all statutes in various locations.
Thank you.
