The crime that occurred in this case was that a man harassed a girl by making a fake Facebook account and pretending to be her. He took some of her pictures and combined them with nude photos on the account. The man, Azeem, would harass her through text message and blackmail her, with the threat that he would share those fake nude photos. Eventually, he did share those photos with close family members and friends after adding them on Facebook, meaning he was also defaming her. He did this with multiple girls and found a way to harass them through their phones, which is definitely an internet crime with real-world implications. Harassment and defamation is something that he can and will be tried for in court, regardless of whether it was online or face-to-face.
What occurred in this case is considered dissociative anonymity, and also a minor form of solipsistic introjection. Dissociative anonymity occurred with the culprit, Azeem, because he recognized that nobody would be able to figure out who he was when he made the fake Facebook profile. He was able to hide under her identity. A minor form of solipsistic introjection also occurred in the case of her friends and family. At first, when they added her on Facebook, they were imagining her and interacting with her in a way without using face-to-face cues. However, this was only minor because they actually knew who she was, so as soon as the pictures came up, they knew that there was something off.
