Robert Nickson Sex OffenderRussell Goldman based his article "Facebook Status Read 'Engaged,' But Cops Called it Statutory Rape" on an alleged rapist and his ability to victimize young girls through the infamous Facebook. Robert Nickson Jr. a 22 year-old man claimed to have a relationship with a 14 year-old girl. Nickson and this young girl had met through a friend and had exchanged numbers, both had continually texted one another and were declaring their love and engagement through Facebook.
Not only had Robert Nickson declared his relationship with this young girl on Facebook but he had also found that the police were catching on to his alleged act. He messaged the young girl and told her it would be best to "lay low".
Robert Nickson had taken her to his home which he shared with his father and would have sexual relations with her multiple times, four to be exact. Not only did Nickson know he was doing wrong but the young girl did as well, both just figured their relationship would not go public and they would not get caught.
Once officials began to investigate their situation Nickson then began to really encourage they "lay low" to avoid getting caught.
In the video Facebook helps an alleged rapist meet his victim, the rapist is later found to have been charging this young girl for her body, not to mention his threats to erase her pictures and the sex video he made her do only if she would have sex with him again. His mother continues to fend for his innocence and will not show her face to the abc news cast while her son is now in prison on a $500,000 bond.
The idea that Facebook has been a piece of evidence for a wide variety of criminal acts is a bit intimidating. One usually uses Facebook to socialize with friends and family, it is the most common use of Facebook, although to think that there are crimes taking place on Facebook and the police are able to use Facebook as a source shows a completely different side to this so called social network we all rely on. For instance, a young girl was cleared of a crime thanks to their Alibi on Facebook, Rodney was updating his status on Facebook in his father’s computer 13 miles away from the robbery. Officials believe it is not "totally reliable" because they understand any individual can log in for someone else with their password.
