Subject: Woman becomes first person to be jailed for ‘trolling herself’

Written By: Philip Eno on 02/05/14 at 11:58 am

A woman is thought to have become the first person in Britain to be jailed for trolling herself.

Michelle Chapman was given 20 months in prison after setting up fake Facebook profiles supposedly of her father and his wife to send hundreds of abusive messages to herself, before complaining to police.

The 24-year-old, of Robins Close, Par, in Cornwall, was described as ‘wicked’ by Judge Christopher Harvey Clark QC at Truro crown court.

The court heard how her actions resulted in innocent people being arrested or receiving police cautions, as well as the breakdown of her father’s marriage.

Chapman’s year-long campaign of abusive messages only came to an end when forensic internet inquiries revealed the Facebook profiles had been created at her own address, This Is Cornwall reported.

It sounds more like she was arrested for impersonating and defaming others than for trolling herself.

Like, Hi, Fer Shurr,

Like, all of her time-consuming work TOTALLY went to WASTE, I'm SHURR!

In all seriousness, though, there HAVE been people who have kept up strange charades online for literally YEARS...leaving everybody wondering why they bothered to do so.  You know, like the person who registers on a site from 5 separate computers (Ie: Their stationary computer, their laptop, their second laptop, their significant other's computer, and their grandma's computer), just so that they can CLAIM that they're a major victim of cyber bullying, when, in fact, they are harassing THEMSELVES! ::)

My question is: "WHY did that woman want so desperately to defame her folks?"  Did they do something rotten to her long ago, and she felt as though justice had never been served, or was she retaliating because of a recent disagreement that she'd taken to heart?
