Prosecutors Seek Three Years in Prison for Lori Drew
Prosecutors who won misdemeanor convictions against Lori Drew last year have asked the judge to imprison her for the maximum sentence of three years, rejecting a recommendation from probation officers that Drew be given only probation and a $5,000 fine. “Defendant has become the public face of cyberbullying,” prosecutors wrote in their filing to the court (.pdf). “A probationary sentence might embolden others to use the Internet to torment and exploit children.” Drew was convicted last year on three misdemeanor counts of violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act in what is believed to be the nation’s first case related to cyberbullying.
