Lori Drew, the mother who posed as a teenage boy on MySpace, is not being charged with cyber-bullying. She is being charged with
- conspiracy
- 3 counts of unauthorized access to a computer
The prosecution is being very clever using a law against Drew that was intended to stop hackers from breaking into computers and stealing information. Three girls are also being charged in participating the creation of the fraudulent profiles.
What are the chances of the prosecution being successful? Some lawyers feel there is a very good chance. This is a story that will be unfolding with ramifications far into the future.
