As sleazy as his actions were in this case, I don't like that it's arrestable to pretend to be someone else on line. He was arrested for "online impersonation in the third degree — a felony — as well as a Class A misdemeanor charge for misrepresentation of identity."
( Maybe he was pretending to be a specific real person, which should be arrestable.. but I'm not sure of those details. )
