"The victim is not a public figure. If this doesn’t stand as criminal, I do believe the victim would have grounds for slander and/or libel since FB is published."

To be clear, I wasn't at all commenting on the civil remedies that might be available to the alleged victim. I was commenting solely on the criminalization of speech - mean speech in this instance.

Could there be a defamation case here? You betcha.

Well, the FL authorities seem to think the 2 girls who created the account violated a FL law. Perhaps they would be convicted on that, and then an appeal to the Supreme Court to declare the law unconstitutional?
