Facebook 'like' lands man in trouble

 

London: If you thought your pressing "like" on Facebook was an innocent task, there's news for you as man recently went violated a court order for liking a woman's picture and could be facing serious charges.

 

It turns out that the Pennsylvania resident, Justin Bellanco, had violated a no-contact restraining order when he " liked" 22 videos and photos of a woman he was allegedly harassing on Facebook, the Mirror reported.

 

24-year-old April Holland had obtained a protection from abuse order on July 28, claiming that her ex-boyfriend Bellanco, 26, has been stalking and harassing her and her friends, and at one point threatened to shoot her in the knee cap.

 

Following the claims, a Luzerne County Judge granted a restraining order as per which Bellanco had to stay away from Holland for a year.

 

But after he broke the rules, he has been charged with contempt of court, even though he claims to have no clue that "liking" on Facebook was a violation of the judge's order.

 

Notably, back in April 2014, Bellanco had obtained a protection from abuse order against Holland after she allegedly choked him during a domestic clash.
