Facebook threats
Placeholder Image
Threats posted on Facebook brought a local woman before the court last week, getting her a probationary sentence on harassment charges.The defendant, Madison Dye, was granted a six-month judicial diversion, meaning she will be on probation for six months and after that time, provided she abides by the terms of her plea agreement, she may move to have her criminal record erased. She must also perform 16 hours public service work and has been warned to have no further contact with the victim. That includes no Facebook posts or text messages.The case became one of the first harassment cases prosecuted here concerning Facebook threats as there have been numerous cases before the court in past years concerning phone and cellphone text messaging harassment.
