A Chatham woman faces multiple charges after communicating on social media using a false name.
In February 2013, the female youth operated a Facebook and Twitter account using the identity of the victim, another local teen, to communicate with a boy and start a relationship.
In August 2014, the female youth called the victim’s boyfriend and fabricated an abduction.
In September 2016, the female youth used a Tinder smart phone app to communicate with another boy identifying herself as the victim.
Last night, police located the female, now a 20-year-old Chatham woman and she was arrested. She has been charged with mischief under $5000, criminal harassment and 44 counts of sending a message in a false name. She was released pending a future court date of January 11, 2017.
