My question involves criminal law for the state of: Georgia
I'm a male and made a fake account as a women on a social media site.
(Don't post real names. It isn't necessary to pose your question. One of the mods, AJ)
I didn't use a real name...just an initial and random last name. I also found the pics of a random women from google images.
A guy messaged me and asked if I wanted to hangout. I said sure and gave him a "pinger" #, which is a free fake phone number service anyone can use to text/call. Anyways...I told him to come and pick me up and gave him the address of the next apartment over from mine, which is vacant.
He ended up actually coming over to my surprise. I saw him knocking on the apartment door and yelling to "open up" but obviously no one answered. As he was walking back to his car...I started to taunt him from the fake phone number with these phrases: "hahaha" and "your such a loser". Never telling him I was a male or otherwise.
He told me that he was going to call the cops and press charges against me. About 20 mins later, cops were at the apartment that I had him go to and they were knocking on the door.
To be clear....I NEVER told him..I was actually a male. And other than calling him a loser...I didn't harass him. Also for reference...this person is well-known racist troll on this site and I just wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine.
So...I'm wondering what consequences I may have to face? If there is a case here.....
(I know police have to get a subpoena/warrant to find my identity through an IP Address...but I dont believe I provided any evidence that I "wasn't" who I said I was from the online profile.) I know what I did was wrong so please only serious input.
Thank you
