Javian Lori Drew Case Response

After Lori Drew feared that a girl, Megan Meier, at her daughters school was spreading rumors about her she created a fake Myspace under the name "Josh Evans." She proceeded to correspond with Meier for a months time; during this time, the messages where seemed "flirtatious." A message was sent from Drew to the Meier that implied that the world would be better off without her. Other students joined in on harassing Meier, and her mother found she had hung herself in the closet on October 16th, 2006.

In court, there was not enough information to charge Drew with the death of Megan Meier, but Drew was charged on 4 other charges: intentionally accessing a computer used in interstate commerce "without authorization" and in "excess of authorized use," using interstate commerce to use a computer to cause emotional distress, and two counts of breaking the Myspace Terms and Agreements.
