New Jersey Woman Charged with Cyber Harassment

Sophia Armstrong, a victim of domestic violence in Massachusetts, faced legal repercussions after recording her boyfriend's assault without his consent, leading to charges of wiretapping against her. Despite providing evidence to the police, the state's law hindered her ability to testify against her abuser, ultimately resulting in the case being dismissed. Meanwhile, in New Jersey, 24-year-old Malina Jaffrey was arrested for stalking and threatening a law enforcement employee and their family, using social media to harass them. Jaffrey, already in a pre-trial intervention program for prior bias intimidation charges, faces multiple counts including cyber harassment and terroristic threats. Investigators revealed she conducted AI searches on the victims during her harassment. Jaffrey is currently in custody pending a detention hearing.
