Darren Mattox Fined For Insulting Ex-Girlfriend On Facebook

In one of only a handful of cases of its kind, Daren Mattox, 29, was fined by a court for sending insulting and offensive messages to his ex-girlfriend, Ashleigh Speed, over Facebook.

During the court hearing at Wrexham Magistrates Court, Mattox admitted posting a note that was 'grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character.'

A Crown Prosecution Service spokesperson told the Telegraph that cases of this sort are rare: 'There have probably been only a handful of cases resulting from offensive material either on Facebook or YouTube,' he said.

However, Facebook has made headlines of late for other instances of harassment between exes.

In the past month alone, several other ex-lovers have gained notoriety for taking their disputes to the web.

defamation of character, harassment... they don't say WHAT he was actually fined for.. or rather what law he was fined under. Agree with the decision though. If she wasn't online to catch it before it was read by anyone any number of bad things could have happened... such as losing her job etc.

it's so much easier to just kick their butt in pirates or mafia wars.

in the states it is called harrasment by communication, and is usually a summary offense.

I have one married couple on my friends list who were going at it a while back. She suspected he was having an affair or something along that line. It was pretty nasty for a while. I think they worked it out though- no recent drama.

That's why I keep telling everyone Facebook is bad.

you really don't want to go after me........this is one pic i found - i'm about 150 levels higher - about upper 400's - and just about maxed out on zoloto sports cars, executive overcoats, zmeya carbon blades, schturmoviks, and ubjica assault rifles

it's not unusual for me to kill someone 150 levels higher than me.
