Abstract
The use of technology to commit crime has become an ideal way for some. The use of technology has led to the incorrect assumption that misconduct online is not traceable. Technological crimes have impacted almost every field of the law including family law, business law and tax law. During the summer of 2016, the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts affirmed an indictment against a youthful offender for her participation in the suicide of another teen. This article analyzes the impact of the first ever indictment against a defendant solely based on text messages and verbal communication between the defendant and the victim.
