Irish man sentenced for being a troll
Man (27) prosecuted over obscene Bebo messages:
27-year-old Paul Anthony Matthews of Ireland pleaded guilty to being a troll which apparently you can be arrested for in Ireland.
Actually he was arrested for putting obscene, explicit, and abusive messages on the Bebo profile of a 16-year-old girl.
It seems that Matthews had a disagreement with the 16-year-old girl so he posted the obscene message on her Bebo account. It must have been pretty disturbing as the 16-year-old called police.
Matthews agreed to pay the victim 3,000 euros rather than do any jail time.
That’s an expensive disagreement.

Wow…what the hell was the message? A detailed play by play of how he could kill her? Honestly 3000 euros is pretty steep.
Shit…If I could get a copy of what he wrote I might be more inclined not to mark this off as another McMissile case.
