Two teenage girls from Florida were arrested on allegations of setting up a fake Facebook account in a classmates name, and filled it with sexually explicit photos.
According to the report, the page was created on April 20th, and had accumulated 181 friends. A second page was also created 9 days later, but only had 5 friends. Investigators traced the IP Address of both pages to the home of 15 year old Taylor Wynn. Winn, along with 15-year-old McKenzie Barker, face charges of "aggravated stalking of a minor under 16."
Prosecutors claim that Wynn and Barker outfitted the fake profile with nude pictures of teenage girls, superimposed with a photo of the victim's face. The girls also posted a digitally altered photo of the victim's face next to a man's penis, and wrote lewd comments across the page. Wynn told investigators that she and the victim were "friends at one time but they do not like each other now." The girl added that she only created the page with the intent of pulling off a "funny joke," and didn't have any qualms about ridiculing her target "because nobody liked her."

The victim stated she was aware of the profile, but thought it would eventually "go away." According to Deputy Thierer, a school resource officer, she was still "subjected to numerous incidents of teasing and ridicule for an ongoing period of time." Imagine that girls life. Each day must have been agony for this young girl. Everyday must still be agony. I can't help but wonder how this will effect the rest of her life? How will she ever be able to look back on her high school years with anything but despair? I hope that she rises above the abuse that has been inflicted on her. Be strong. Keep your head held high. You can endure.
