A man has been jailed for posting abusive messages online about a schoolgirl after she committed suicide.

Sean Duffy, 25, of Reading, was handed an 18-week sentence for posts on social networking sites about Worcestershire teenager Natasha MacBryde.

He previously pleaded guilty at Reading Magistrates' Court to sending indecent or offensive communications.

If you're using the internet to voice your opinion it's covered under free speech, just as it is when you phone someone or fax something. It's just a different output for you saying something.

Yea, the freedom of speech doesn't cover slang.
