This story out of Conneticut bears watching, as there are similarities to the Rasta case.
A 34 year old Waterford, CT woman was charged with second degree criminal harassment for using the Internet to try to break up an ex-boyfriend's marriage by fabricating information about man's wife and posting it on adult web sites.
The Rastas have engage in similar behavior, fabricating information about many people and posting it on the net. The motives were different, political and economic destruction of the targets vs. breaking up a marriage, but the actions were very similar.
Another similarity is that the bulk of the investigation was done by a private citizen. Kudos to the Waterford law enforcement community for pursuing the case when presented with the evidence.
So far in Monmouth County, law enforcement has declined to follow up on the criminal harassment and threats to an attorney involving the Rasta case.

I've wondered that myself. All the more reason for Moretti to present Tommy DeSeno with what he knows. No point in this kid taking the rap if others are involved, which seems likely.
As foul as rastas acts were they do not rise to the level of a criminal act. I am not sure what the idiot in Con. did is a crime.
The problem is with the vaguness of the harrassment statutes.
I think you would need a more specific statute.
