From an online article: "When Love arrived, the principal said the student was facing felony wiretapping charges because he had made a recording in a place where there is an expectation of privacy. The officer agreed but eventually reduced the charge to disorderly conduct on the basis that the student engaged in offensive actions ‘which served no legitimate purpose.’”
Despite the abuse that the boy had to endure, he was eventually found guilty of disorderly conduct by District Judge Maureen McGraw-Desmet. This marks the first time that a bullying victim recorded abuse, and was later charged with a crime."

I'm hoping a recent internet story is mistaken, and that Dist. Judge McGraw-Desmet is not so dismally unfamiliar with the serious crime of 'bullying' that she would find a student guilty of being 'disorderly' in a classroom where he was being treated so horrifically, without authorities intervening. It seems impossible than anyone would know anything whatsoever about victims of verbal bullying, hear the details of the event described in the South Fayette School District sophomore student's case, and then rule that the bullied student was 'disorderly' ... but if it did so happen, then the area should reconsider this woman's judgeship - as she would then clearly lack the prerequisite for being a judge, in the first place ... that is to say, good, sound judgement!
