Quattrocchi's crime? The repeated serious cyber bullying
A Melbourne woman has just been sentenced to a year's jail for
harassing
with texts, phone calls and emails. She also used her credit card
number and harassed family and friends of the victim.
Of course legal problems go where people are. Right now litigation is
emerging from fracas on Facebook, misadventures on MySpace and even
tantrums on Twitter.

Damien Carrick: It seems that everyone these days is engaging with
social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace and Twitter, and of
course where the people go, the legal problems and lawyers are sure to
follow.
And those problems are many and varied. They range from cyber bullying
to online libel, and when they occur, who's responsible?
How hard is it to pin liability on people who try to hide their true
identity? And should an employer foot the bill when one of their
employees crosses the line?
Damien Carrick: Melbourne woman Tanya Maree Quattrocchi. Last week in
the Court, 23-year-old Quattrocchi was sentenced to 26 months jail,
with a non-parole period of 12 months.
Quattrocchi's crime? The repeated serious cyber bullying
Jonathan Clough is an associate professor at Monash University Law
School.
Jonathan Clough: I believe that she might have accessed the person's
Hotmail account and gained access to her emails in that way, and was
also using text messages, that's as I understand it.
Damien Carrick: Apparently she hacked into her victim's MySpace
account, intersected her emails and, over one three-month period,
texted her something like 570 times and called her like 369 times, and
she was sending emails to the victim's relatives, and workmates, with
explicit fictional accounts of the victims's sex life, so it was a
kind of a comprehensive cyber stalking. Do we see this kind of stuff
often?
Jonathan Clough: Well we don't really know how common cyber stalking
is because cyber stalking isn't recorded as a separate category, so we
tend to become aware of it with very high profile cases like this .
This one's perhaps unusual in that it seems to have been purely
electronic in nature, so pure cyber-stalking. I suspect that in
perhaps the majority of stalking cases, there is a mixture of methods
of harassment.
Damien Carrick: Judge Hannan in the case said 'Victims of such crimes
had no doors to lock and no alarms to activate, they're constantly
vulnerable.'
Jonathan Clough: Oh, very much so. The more it becomes part of our
everyday life, not just at work but at home as well, we rely very
heavily on our email accounts and the use of our computers. And so the
sense that someone has access to that at any time of the day or night,
can cause enormous anxiety and fear.
Damien Carrick: Now what are our laws, and what's the test that you
have to satisfy before you can convict someone for cyber stalking?
Jonathan Clough: Well it's worth pointing out that cyber stalking is
not a legal term, it's a descriptive term for stalking which has an
electronic dimension to it.
Stalking however is a legal term, it's an offence under the Crimes
Act to stalk another person.
It's a relatively recent offence in criminal law terms.
Stalking itself first came about in the 1990s out of California in
relation to celebrity cases, and existing laws found it very hard to
deal with this because typically stalking is about repeated, unwanted
intrusions into someone's life.
And if you look at each individual piece of conduct, it seems
innocuous out of context, it's the cumulative effect.
The essence of it is that there's an intention, at least in Victoria,
there's an intention to cause physical and mental harm, or for the
victim to fear for their own safety or the safety of others.
The course of conduct is a very broad concept, and the provision
would be one of the most advanced in specifically including aspects of
cyber stalking; it refers to email, it refers to placing information
on the internet, it refers to unauthorised access to a computer. So it
specifically incorporates that type of behaviour.
