Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida
I'd like to know if the following is a criminal offense or on that I can pursue with civil litigation.
A friend of mine had closed a telephone account and was no longer using the number, thought I didn't know that. This person had a history of emotional issues and I had been sending text messages regarding this.
The new/current owner of that phone number, unrelated to me or my friend, who had received some of these text messages from me to my friend, decided one day to play a prank by sending me text messages pretending to be my friend. The messages were convincing and terribly alarming in that they threatened suicide. For 4 days this continued until I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
Finally the "parent" of the person who was impersonating my friend called to explain the whole thing and apologize.
IF this illegal in Florida?
