Posted by josh in Only last week, Facebook served as an alibi for a robbery suspect. The latest news is, a victim tracked down her attacked through Facebook.
The victim, a UK woman who was glassed in the face told Sky News Online how she used Facebook to track down her attacker.
Jennifer Wilson, 20, was dancing in the Walkabout bar northwest of London when a drunk woman lashed out at her, Sky News reported.
Jennifer said, “She kept giving me dirty looks and then she pulled me off the stage onto the floor and pushed the glass into my face. I was in shock. I couldn’t believe she would do that to me.”
“I didn’t realise how badly hurt I was until I saw the blood. I think it’s disgusting that anyone could attack someone like that.”
The woman ran off after the incident but Jennifer recognised one of her friends nearby.After searching through 200 people on Facebook, Ms Wilson found her attacker, identifying her as Ashleigh Holliman.
Ms Wilson said: “I went on Facebook and looked at a mutual friend’s profile and searched his friends list. As soon as I saw her picture I knew it was her. She is quite distinctive, with red hair.”
Police arrested Holliman, 22, at work the following day. They took her to a police station where Jennifer picked her out of a line-up.
A court awarded Jennifer £2400 ($4352) as compensation and ordered Holliman to do 120 hours of unpaid work.
