Can I be arrested for cyber bullying a celeb on twitter?
I said a few mean things to a celeb on twitter and they said they will get the police involved and I've deleted the tweets but people sent her screen grabs of them too and I'm sh*t scared. I don't want any 'you shouldn't of done this' because I know and I've learnt my lesson but I'm really scared what is the chances of something bad happening!? Please answer I'm scaredddddd D:

That all depends.
- who the celeb is, what you said, and generally - if they are having a bad day/week and are not feeling forgiving. Tracking you down is easy. Recovering the tweets, no matter what you think you deleted - easy. If the person on the other end presses charges, you can be nearly 100% certain that they will find you. .. you sound underage, so it probably won't mean jail.. but you might get a "juvenile record".. and if your state has laws specific to cyber bullying, then whatever penalties they have. ... further, if anything you said was sexual in nature... you could be branded as a sex criminal for life. ... if anything you said was about race.. you will be branded a racist. If you've really "learnt my lesson".. then you should send the celeb a written apology, and face your mistake. Otherwise, hiding and asking anonymous questions on the internet isn't really going to resolve anything. Ads |

Yes you can get in trouble if the police want to pursue it. Now it depends on whether or not you wish to continue doing this to the same or different person.
For now I would not be all that worried unless you have this in your history. |
