Catfish
A female student reported to Public Safety at 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 5 that she was being harassed on a social media site.  The student said that on Oct. 29, a fellow student informed her that he received a message from her on a website. On Oct. 31, the female student read the message and realized that she had not sent it.  Public Safety later discovered that a female student who also received a fake message took a screenshot, and posted the message to the male student impersonating the student victim. The suspect has been charged with a harassment violation.
