Posting a sexually insulting comment on the Facebook social media network constitutes the crime of harassment, the Pennsylvania Superior Court has ruled in upholding a teenage woman's criminal conviction.
Judge Christine L. Donohue, writing for the unanimous panel of Judge John T. Bender and Senior Judge Eugene B. Strassburger III last week, said that defendant Lindsey Marie Cox committed the crime of harassment when she posted a comment on her Facebook page that the victim "has herpes. Ew, that's gross. She should stop spreading her legs like her mother."
