Ohio blogger found guilty of harassment over Shrek image sent to senator
Original: Ohio blogger found guilty of harassment for sending Shrek nude to senator A jury found an Ohio political blogger guilty
An Ohio jury found political blogger DJ Byrnes guilty of telecommunications harassment after he sent an explicit image of the cartoon character Shrek to a Republican state senator. The case drew attention for its unusual subject matter, and a judge issued the ruling on Friday, marking a rare instance of a meme-style stunt leading to a criminal harassment conviction.
Why now: The absurdity of a criminal conviction over a cartoon image sent to a lawmaker is drawing wide attention.
