Sean Duffy, the accuse who posted malicious messages and vile pictures on Facebook tribute pages.
In a case of cyber trolling, Sean Duffy 25-year-old British man was sentenced to 18 weeks in prison and has been banned from using social networking sites for five years. He posted malicious messages and vile pictures on Facebook tribute pages set up in remembrance of teenage girls who had died.
Among his victim was Natasha MacBryde, a 15 year old, who died after being hit by a passenger train. Duffy posted on the remembrance page of late MacBryde calling her a ‘slut’, ‘I fell asleep on the track lolz’. He also posted a video titled ‘Tasha the Tank Engine’ offensively showing Miss MacBryde’s face onto the front of the famous train.
On another victim, he created a Facebook page entitle RIP Lauren Drew. He posted ‘Lauren’s rotting body’ on one image and a video with a picture of coffin saying ‘Happy Mothers Day’ ending with a message “I don’t know why you’re all crying down there, it’s soaking here in hell”.
At first, he created a mock account of Hayley Bates who died in a car crash, posted a defacing picture of her with big crosses over her eyes and stictches over her forehead. One of her picture caption reads, “Used car for sale, one useless owner”.
Duffy also targeted Jordan Cooper, who was stabbed to death. He created a group called “Jordan Cooper in pieces” and added a video showing Jordan’s picture with his eyes crossed out and slashed across his face”.
Apparently, Duffy didn’t know any of his victims. He was guilty to two counts of sending malicious communications relating to Natasha. He will also face court trial for the other three cases of Facebook trolling which he is asking for consideration at Reading Magistrates’ Court.
