Hi
The scenario is a Facebook post named and shamed someone for a commiting a crime. No court case took place in regards to alleged crime. The original poster of Facebook deleted the post very quickly. But it was screenshot and has been sent around and posted on individal FB profiles and within fb groups. Does the person who the post was about have a case to take police under the using a carriage service to menace, harrass or offend?
If yes, is it against the original person who posted the FB post. Even though it's strongly believed they deleted it very early on? Or is there a case against those who go on to share the post? The post hasn't been seen for a while but it could come up again. Is there a time limit? Summary or indictable?
Not taking the defamation option.
