this case represents true "cyber-bullying"...one must be more cautious when accusing others of this type of heinous activity. There is a difference between this, and a simple disagreement between friends (or former friends). The police or other legal authority should only be notified in the case of threats of attack. If you falsely accuse someone of a crime, YOU could be the one being charged.
