This link would seem to indicate that it was not, in fact the bullying but the false identity that they convicted the defendant of.
- m0nty 18y agoI still think the bullying was the issue. There was much talk when the story came out that (in point of law) an actual offence might not have been committed. So I think this represents the court casting about for some reason to convict, on some grounds, owing to public clamour. But does this set a precedent which will lead to the death of online anonymity? Not in itself, and it will be interesting to see if any other cases follow on from this one.
