My friend's friend (we'll call the victim A) has been cyberstalked.
According to my friend,
1.) the cyberstalker (we'll call the stalker X) has created an e-mail account.
2.) Then X created a Facebook account using A's name.
3.) X started to add A's friends on Facebook and collected somewhat sexual photos of A.
4.) After collecting those photos, X put them up on Photobucket with A's name on it.
5.) Finally, X put those pictures on a porn site. X did this by creating another free account on that porn site using A's name.
It does not end here. X, knowing where A works, impersonated A, chatted with numerous perverts on the porn site, and told them to come see A at work. Also, my friend told me that A has received junk porn e-mails as well.
So my friend convinced A to file a complaint. Another of A's friend messaged X on A's fake Facebook account and told X that X will be screwed since A has filed a lawsuit. X panics and decides to close all fake accounts and e-mail addresses.
However, fearing the IP address records, X goes on the internet and asks hackers on a hacker's forum to erase all those records for money. One hacker seeing this rather shady favor sends an e-mail to A (since on X's forum post, it mentioned A's e-mail address as well as X's name). A sends back a response to this hacker and the hacker posts it on the forum. This is how A finds out who X is and X finds out that A has found out.
This stalker is actually an old acquaintance of mine. X has confessed to me what was going on. X said X was very lonely and clinically diagnosed as depressed and anxious. I knew about X's depression, but I disbelieved X since X seemed to be doing well these days. X said that X tried to quit the crime but couldn't and said that if Facebook keeps records, it ought to show how X constantly deactivated and reactivated the fake account.
Even though X says this, A is emotionally traumatized and socially damaged. When A's name is typed in Google, those websites appear suggesting sexual activities, even though those accounts do not exist anymore.
Anyways, I'm feeling somewhat torn since I'm friends with X and A. What is the worst punishment that my friend, X, could receive? Could the law provide X with therapy?
