Megan Meier Vindicated
What pathology stirred Lori Drew--a mother herself-- to assume an identity to target and methodically "break" fragile Megan Meier?
We will soon find out.
Drew was charged with one count of conspiracy and three counts of fraudulently gaining access to someone else's computer. Each count carries a penalty of four to five years in prison, meaning Drew could face up to twenty years. Drew will be arraigned in St. Louis and tried in Los Angeles.Interesting. Isn't fraudulent access exactly how law enforcement gains access to conduct online sting operations? Isn't conspiracy exactly what is going on through the enlistment of online sleuths such as Perverted Justice, those who pretend to be someone other than themselves, all in the name of protecting the children?
The charge of fraudulently gaining access to someone else's computer has previously been used in cases of computer hacking. This is the first time it has been used in the context of cyber-bullying.
Perhaps Drew can use the Online Predation in Reverse Defense. I was just protecting my child.
Lori Drew--mother, neighbor, friend of the family--who befriended the 13-year-old as "Josh Evans"--created a fictional profile on MySpace, sought out Megan, established an emotional relationship with full premeditated intent to determine if the young girl had spoken unkindly about her daughter.
Stay tuned.

Hopefully, this now sets a precedent for other web service providers to go after those who create (or who have created) false online profiles for the expressed purpose of causing emotional and physical harm to others.
I'm right there with ya, NG.
I was very happy to hear this. IF not for the blog world she probably would have gotten away with it.
Internet stalking is extremely harmful, particularly when a person is vulnerable.
This sickening story better not end with a plea bargain and probation.
She should be sentenced as BOTH personalities. Seriously.
FUCK HER.
Sick fucking bitch.
I'm with you, Vox. Such premeditated stalking leading to Megan's suicide--you would think the charge would be some sort of second degree manslaughter...but I'll take this charge. Internet stalking is stalking--regardless of what side of the law the stalker is stalking from.
I'm glad the blogs were screaming because law enforcement probably were not too much in a hurry to file charges for an act that they do as "cyber crimefighters" every day.
My hopes are the charge sticks and perhaps is precedent-setting.
