British court clears Facebook man of harassing his ex-girlfriend

A British court has cleared a Facebook man of harassing his ex-girlfriend on the social network site. Michael Hurst was accused of harassing Sophie Sladden back in January, while on Facebook he sent her a friend request, this will then allow a user to view the persons profile.

Ex-girlfriend Sladden thought that Hurst was trying to intimidate her as he had already received a caution from police. Hurst had this to say in court “DJ Chris Moyles had 1.5 million Facebook friends.” He then added “Do you think he knows them all intimately?”

However the court has told Michael Hurst not to try and make contact with Sophie Sladden again.
