‘Wicked’ Michelle Chapman becomes first person jailed in UK for trolling herself

A woman in Britain has become the first person to be jailed for trolling herself.

Michelle Chapman was given 20 months in prison after setting up fake Facebook profiles supposedly of her father and his wife to send hundreds of abusive messages to herself, before complaining to police.

According to cronwall.co.uk, the 24-year-old was described as ‘wicked’ by Judge Christopher Harvey Clark QC at Truro crown court.

The court heard how Chapman’s actions resulted in innocent people being arrested or receiving police cautions.

Chapman’s year-long campaign of abusive messages came to an end when forensic internet inquiries revealed the Facebook profiles had been created at her own address, the report added. (ANI)
