10 facebook criminals

be careful wat u do on facebook or it'l be used against u.
The woman who was
arrested for ‘poking' someone
on Facebook
In yet another case of blurring
between the lines of virtual and
reality, a woman broke the law
for poking via Facebook!
Shannon Jackson of Tennessee
broke the law when she poked a
contact on her Facebook list, by
violating a restraining order.
The order specifically prohibits
either telephoning, contacting, or
otherwise communicating with
the petitioner. Violation of a
restraining order in Tennessee is
a class A misdemeanor,
punishable up to 11 months and
29 days in jail, as well as a fine
up to $2500. (Link | Via)
The man who got arrested
for pretending to be a
Moroccan prince on Facebook
In the U.S., pretending to be a
celebrity online is something of a
trend. There's a whole slew of
fake celebrity blogs out there.
Search Facebook or MySpace and
you'll find dozens of pages
supposedly opened by Tom
Cruise or Katie Holmes -- all fake.
The Moroccan government,
though, apparently isn't quite hip
with this trend, and in 2008
arrested a man for creating a
Facebook profile under the guise
of the brother of King
Mohammed VI.
The man, 26-year-old Fouad
Mourtada, was arrested and
charged with "villainous
practices," a very dire and vague
sounding offense. At this point,
it's unknown just what he said
on the fake profile and whether
his intents were malicious or
satirical, but it's safe to say that
whatever he was doing with the
fake Facebook identity wasn't
terribly amusing to the Moroccan
government. (Link | Via)
The emergency worker
who got 4 years in jail for
posting crime scene photos on
Facebook
Mark Musarella, an emergency
worker who posted photos on
Facebook of a beaten and
strangled woman called Caroline
Wimme, was sentenced to 200
hours of community service after
pleading guilty to misdemeanor
official misconduct and
disorderly conduct. The 48-year-
old retired New York Police
Department detective also lost his
emergency medical technician
license.
Now, the parents are suing
Facebook for allowing the
pictures to be shown. ( Link | Via)
The woman who was
convicted for decapitating a
mouse and posting the footage
on Facebook
A young Queensland woman has
escaped jail time over an animal
cruelty case, in which she filmed
herself hacking off a mouse's
head before posting the footage
on Facebook. Naomi Anderson,
23, pleaded guilty to one charge
of animal cruelty in the
Caboolture Magistrates Court,
north of Brisbane, in July 2011.
The Caboolture woman had used
a steak knife to cut off the
mouse's head, filming the
episode and later uploading it
onto Facebook using an alias.
The mouse took 40 seconds to
die.
Anderson received an 18-month
good behaviour bond and was
ordered to serve 180 hours
community service. ( Link)
The two preteen girls who
were accused of cyberstalking
after hacking into a classmate's
Facebook page
Two preteen US girls accused of
hacking into a classmate's
Facebook page and posting
sexually explicit photos and
messages have been charged
with cyberstalking and first-
degree computer trespassing.
The girls, ages 11 and 12, have
been under investigation since
the alleged victim's family
contacted Issaquah police. The
two defendants used the victim's
password information to post
sexually explicit content on her
Facebook page. They also posted
messages that indicated the
victim was willing to perform sex
acts on people.
The defendants instant-
messaged some boys to arrange
dates where sex acts were to be
performed by the victim,
according to the charges. Jon
Knight, the stepfather of the 12-
year-old victim, said his family is
relieved that the case has
resulted in criminal charges. He
said that he wasn't taken
seriously when he reported the
incident to Issaquah police and
to staff at Issaquah Middle
School. (Link)
The couple who was
arrested for eating rare iguana
on Facebook
This story concerns an American
couple's meal of an endangered
iguana that landed them in
Bahamian jail. They were caught
after the country's officials saw
pictures of the feast on
Facebook. The couple -- Vanessa
Starr Palm, 23, from Illinois and
Alexander Daniel Rust, 24, from
Indiana -- posted incriminating
snapshots that included "the
suspects catching an iguana,
parts of an iguana on a grill, two
men eating the iguana pieces,
and a man and a woman
cleaning what appears to be
undersized conch," according to
police. It's unclear exactly how it
got to the police, but apparently
many people reported it.
Palm and Rust have been
charged with violating an animal
protection act and were released
on $500 bail each. They'll be back
in court next Tuesday. As if that
wasn't enough, a Bahamian
official said the pair "could also
be charged under U.S. law which
makes it illegal to commit an
offence in a country that has a
relationship with the U.S." Good.
The iguanas are protected under
the Convention on International
Trade in Endangered Species of
Wild Fauna and Florida.

The PA teen who admitted
to trying to hire a hitman on
Facebook
Chester County teenager faces 11
to 22 years in prison after
agreeing to a plea agreement on
charges he used Facebook to try
to hire a hit man to kill a woman
who had accused him of rape.
Nineteen-year-old West Chester,
Pa., resident Corey Christian
Adams accepted the plea
agreement on charges of rape,
criminal solicitation of murder
and other counts.
In July 2010, a 20-year-old
woman who had accused Adams
of raping her after a party called
police to point out a posting on
his Facebook page offering $500
for "a girls head." In a later
posting, police say Adams said
"he needed this girl knocked off
right now." Neither Adams nor
his attorney commented outside
court. ( Link)
The man who got jailtime
for Facebook friend request
When you have a restraining
order out against you, you need
to be careful when playing
around on social networks. A 37-
year-old British man had been
given a no-contact order after
harassing his wife with text
messages and phone calls. When
he joined Facebook, he checked
the box that would invite his
entire address book to join as
well. In Silicon Valley, that's just
an annoying social faux pas. But
for him, it was a violation of his
no-contact rule. He received ten
days in jail, but served only seven
after his lawyer petitioned the
court that he had been
"confused" by Facebook's sign-in
procedures. Good thing he didn't
poke her. ( Link)
The teen who was busted
after posting about toilet crime
on Facebook
Consider this 16-year-old's
chances of avoiding Internet
infamy flushed down the drain:
After playing a prank that
resulted in $247,000 worth of
repairs and a five-month closure
of a public library because of
flooded toilets, he wrote about it
on Facebook, which led to a
public admission of guilt in court.
This crime happened in
Portsmouth, UK, where the teen
boy confessed to using toilet
tissue to fill the plugholes in the
third-floor men's toilets of the
Portsmouth Central Library and
turning on the taps, resulting in
an epic flood.
The teenager had apparently
tried to protest his innocence at
first. But he changed his plea
when presented with proof of
his vandalism: A transcript of the
Facebook comments he made
with one of his mates in which
he copped to the deed.
While he had told the cops he
had done nothing, he had
answered a question on
Facebook as to whether he
might be guilty. His reply: "Kind
of, yeah. I've kept it to myself. A
few mates know." imagine d idiots!

its not 10 but 9...lol
