Cruel CYBER-BULLY Mother INDICTED! After Megan Meier's Death
Prosecutors characterize the case as the nation's first cyber-bullying case, and the results from it could set legal precedents regarding online harassment. Drew has pleaded not guilty to one count of conspiracy and three counts of accessing computers without authorization. Should the adults involved in deceiving Megan, Lori and Curt Drew, be held accountable for their actions? DREW faces up to 15 YEARS in prison on charges of conspiracy and accessing protected computers to obtain information to inflict emotional distress. Evidence shows that Drew opened the MySpace account and "fully intended to hurt and prey on Megan's psyche" according to U.S. attorney Thomas O'Brien. A federal indictment accuses Lori Drew, 49, of O'Fallon, Missouri, of using a MySpace account to pose as a 16-year-old boy and feign romantic interest in the girl. The Drews have been besieged with negative publicity, and Meier's death prompted her hometown of Dardenne Prairie to adopt a law engaging in Internet harassment a misdemeanor. In a bizzare twist the law's first use could be to prevent possible harassment against the Drews! Megan Meier died believing that somewhere in this world lived a boy named Josh Evans who hated her. The final message Megan Meier saw on her MySpace account: "Everybody in O'Fallon knows how you are. You are a bad person and everybody hates you. Have a shitty rest of your life. The world would be a better place without you." On Oct. 16, 2006, Ron and Tina Meier discovered Megan had tied a cloth belt around a support beam in her closet and hanged herself. Megan died the following day. Six weeks after Megan's death her parents were informed that Megan was the victim of a cruel hoax on MySpace. The perpetrators were the parents of Megan's one time friend. The Drews had concocted Josh Evans to get back at Megan for quarreling with their daughter. After Megan's death they even asked Megan's parents if they could store their foosball table in Megan's parent's garage. Upon learning the details of what had happened to their daughter and who was behind it Megan's father destroyed the, "alleged" hoaxers Curt and Lori Drew's, foosball table. Because Ms. Drew had taken Megan on family vacations, she knew the girl had been prescribed antidepression medication, Ms. Meier said. She also knew that Megan had a MySpace page. Ms. Drew had told a girl across the street about the hoax, said the girl's mother, who requested anonymity to protect her daughter, a minor. "Lori laughed about it," the mother said, adding that Ms. Drew and Ms. Drew's daughter "said they were going to mess with Megan." Over the last year the Drew's have had threatening phone calls, a brick through the window,a lwan job and painball attacks. This Wednesday officials in Megan Meier's home town vote on whether to make online harassment a local crime. The proposed ordinance would make online harassment a Class B misdemeanor, punishable by a $500 fine and up to 90 days in jail. Or, the telecommunications harassment law. Amended in 2005, the law prohibits people from anonymously using the Internet with the intent to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass another person. Drew pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy and accessing protected computers without authorization to get information used to inflict emotional distress, in federal Court in June 2008. She is free on $20,000 bond. Experts have said the case could break new ground in Internet law. The statute used to indict Drew usually applies to Internet hackers who illegally access accounts to get information. Sept.'08 A federal judge tentatively rejected two motions on Thursday to dismiss charges against a woman in a MySpace hoax that allegedly led to a 13-year-old girl's suicide.
