Facebook Troll Goes To Jail For Online Threats

#1 A Viral Tender Profile

Olivia Melville's Tender profile went viral after it was screenshot and shared because of a Nicki Minaj lyric quote in her bio. "Stay classy ladies ðÂŸÂ˜Â‚ I'm surprised she'd still be hungry for lunch ðÂŸÂ™ÂŠ" a Facebook user wrote with her photo next to it.

#2 Zane Alchin

That's when user Zane Alchin began to post horrible and disgusting threats in the comments section, all geared towards Olivia.

#3 Consequences!

But thankfully, online users can no longer be complete idiots without consequences - Zane was fired from his job after his comments went viral. He also could face up to three years in jail after pleading guilty to harassing Olivia.

#4 A Major Change

If convicted, this could be a major example of what online bullying, harassing and threats could lead to for anyone around the world. Olivia's friend Paloma Newton is the person who reported these threats to the Newtown Police Department in Australia.

#5 A True Psycho

Zane says he was trolling "group of feminists that were harassing me and my friends." Which is a complete LIE.

#6 A Victory

"We're extremely pleased that Mr. Alchin has pleaded guilty, despite previous indications he wouldn't," Paloma's Sexual Violence Won't Be Silenced group posted. "Our victory today sends a message to all women that they don't have to put up with harassment online; that there are steps and channels they can take."
