Malicious email / police involved

[dave7108]

Did try to update this thread couple weeks ago but for some reason as it was older than 14 days did not appear in my list.
He got a £400 fine and pleaded not guilty but was found guilty. As he didnt mean it to be malicious then he couldn't plea guilty to it. He is glad it is all over. Big life lesson and hopefully will engage his brain in future.

When is this spent, i thought it was 2 years?

If its just a fine then where does this fall in to it?

Needless to say I bet the OPs son and the guy who pressed charges are now worlds worst enemies.
Sad how a strong friendship can turn upside down like that. IMO its more likely the OPs son was a dick to the guy over a long period of time so he used the opportunity to get the guy in trouble. I cant see another reason why a friend would throw another friend under the bus like that.
Hope OPs son learns to treat others with respect

100% not - they had ever fallen out, that's probably what makes it more hard to comprehend that they have lost a good friendship - best friends.

Now the whole thing is over, and presumably you heard the evidence from both sides in court can you fill in some of the blanks?
What was the evidence against him?

Evidence against him was it made him feel distressed. There was nothing else I have not talked about on here.

to sum up for anyone who doesnt want to go through 20 odd pages

Girl in to camming. Punter uploads video on to well known website.
Few months later random person in the group of friends comes across it.
Lads have a good laugh about it
My son gets told about it but to NOT tell the brother of said camming girl
He tells him but doesnt want to get directly involved so sets fake email up. and sends image as proof. Hoping the brother contacts the group of lads involved and gets it taken off site.
Brother gets email tells his mother about it. They both go to police.
Police knock on our door tracked IP
Court...
Witness statements read out saying they both felt distressed at seeing image
Prosecution say my son did it for malice, Defence say this is not true and he could not of told him without offending him.
Magistrate sums up that this is low level crime. £400 fine £40 victim compo
