Hopefully this woman Lori Drew will pay a large price if hopefully convicted for her gruesome role in this tragedy that she'll never ever forget, and a internet law to coincide with her conviction in poor Megan Meir's memory.
I've added this photoshop I made back when she tragically hung herself as a small and terribly insignificant but heartfelt tribute to her memory.
Woman is indicted in Missouri MySpace suicide case
(OneNewsNow.com): "A Los Angeles federal grand jury has indicted a Missouri woman for her alleged role in a MySpace online hoax played on a 13-year-old girl who committed suicide.
A Los Angeles federal grand jury has indicted a Missouri woman for her alleged role in a MySpace online hoax played on a 13-year-old girl who committed suicide.
Lori Drew of suburban St. Louis was indicted Thursday on one count of conspiracy and three counts of accessing protected computers without authorization to obtain information to inflict emotional distress.
Drew allegedly helped create a false-identity MySpace account to contact neighbor Megan Meier who thought she was chatting with a 16-year-old boy named Josh Evans.
Meier hanged herself in October 2006 after receiving cruel messages, including one stating the world would be better off without her.
Drew has denied creating the account and sending messages to Megan.
MySpace is based in Beverly Hills."
Here is an AP timeline of the entire case and it's unfolding:
Timeline of events in the Megan Meier Internet suicide case:
September 2006: 13-year-old Megan Meier of Dardenne Prairie, Mo., begins communicating online on the MySpace social network with "Josh Evans," who she thinks is a good-looking boy living in her area.
Oct. 15, 2006, she receives a message from Josh, saying he doesn't want to be her friend anymore.
Oct. 16, 2006: Megan receives cruel messages through MySpace, including one from "Josh," allegedly telling her the world would be a better place without her. Megan runs upstairs. About 20 minutes later, Megan's mother finds her daughter has hanged herself in her closet.
Oct. 17, 2006: Megan dies at a hospital, a few weeks before her 14th birthday.
Fall 2006: Megan's parents learn from a neighbor that Josh was the creation of another neighbor, Lori Drew, her teenage employee Ashley Grills, and Drew's teenage daughter, a former friend of Megan. They are told the MySpace profile was created to see what Megan was saying about Drew's daughter online. Drew, through her attorney, later disputes she helped create the site or knew of mean messages prior to Megan's death.
Fall 2007: Media accounts of Megan's suicide fuel public outrage in the case.
Dec. 3, 2007: St. Charles County, Mo., prosecutor Jack Banas says he reviewed laws related to stalking, harassment and child endangerment and couldn't find statutes allowing him to file charges.
May 15, 2008: A Los Angeles federal grand jury indicts Lori Drew for her alleged role in the MySpace hoax, charging her with one count of conspiracy and three counts of accessing protected computers without authorization.
