Woman trolls herself on Facebook, gets almost two years in prison

A WOMAN has been jailed for trolling herself after she unleashed a year of vile abuse at her own Facebook account.

Michelle Chapman, 24, from the UK claimed to have suffered from a torrent of sexual taunts that came from members of her own family, the Mirror reports.

However, it turned out these were all from accounts she had set up herself as part of a yearlong vendetta against her father and new stepmother.

Chapman had fallen out with her in-laws after trying to reunite with the father she had not seen for 21 years. But things didn't go well and after an argument Chapman plotted a revenge attack via social media.

She began by creating a Facebook account for her new stepmother, Louise Steen, which was used to send abusive messages to her father in an attempt to split them up.

People like this make it so much more difficult for legitimate victims; not to mention, they attempt to ruin the lives of those they're falsely accusing. Prison is appropriate.
