Defend Yourself Against Indirect Cyber Harassment with Our Los Angeles Attorneys
Have you received a citation for posting harmful information on the Internet? If so, you may be accused of indirect cyber harassment. The severity of the law’s view of cyber harassment is equal to that of in-person harassment. Therefore, the offense can be recognized by the penal code PC 653.2, and it carries heavy penalties, including jail time and heavy fines. However, our Los Angeles attorneys can assist you in building a proper defense strategy. Our firm has many years of experience with charges similar to yours, and we can help prevent this citation from ruining your life.
What is Posting of Harmful Information on the Internet?
When you place threatening, defamatory, or personal information online with the intention of hurting someone, it is considered posting harmful information on the Internet. This crime is committed with malicious intent, which means that your purpose is to make the victim feel threatened or ashamed. Posting the material could be on a personal blog, a random forum, Twitter, Facebook, or Google +.
Examples of Posting Harmful Information on the Internet
Many examples of harmful materials exist on the Internet, including openly writing on your blog that you are going to physically harm someone. Similarly, posting on Facebook that your ex-spouse begged to get back with you even though you are remarried, is harmful because it destroys the ex-spouse’s character, and incites anger at that person.
The Penalties for Posting Harmful Information on the Internet
The maximum jail time sentence for indirect cyber harassment is one year, and fines up to $1,000 may also apply. Moreover, this charge can damage your reputation and livelihood, making it hard for you to get employment in the future. This criminal act stays in your record for a lifetime. Therefore, contacting one of our lawyers is essential, and they can guide you on fighting the charges.
