I was intentionally sent the trojan virus today. Can a person be charged and arrested for this? This person that sent it is in violation of a no contact order, so he is going to jail anyways,
( original charges are sex assult 4th, risk to minor, 10 counts each ) but was wondering if this would be an additional charge, along with the violation.. Im not calling the police until Tuesday, its Christmas Eve and I refuse to let him ruin our Christmas. " Him " is also my " father "...was... Thank you for response if you happen to know... Happy Holidays.

~I would hope so, but I think it would be hard to prove. Would the police take the time to investigate?
Merry Christmas~

He violated the no contact order which would be a misdemeanor.Sending a virus is probably in violation of federal law but i'm not familar with it. You might have some state laws that have recently been passed.

In theory...yes! But it would be difficult to prosecute. Some viruses are unintentional and are sent through the unknown carriers e-mail. With this incident it would have to be proven that he knew about the virus and had intent to send it.

Yes, he can be arrested and charged with a felony, depending on the laws in your state, or if the feds decide to get involved. Make sure you can absolutely prove it was him, though.

Yes it is a federal violation to maliciously send viruses thru the internet,and with internet tracking now its easy to trace it back.

Intentionally sending a virus is a federal and local crime. It's sometimes tough to prosecute, but still illegal.

malisious intent. if you have a good enough lawyer you can convince the judge/jury he was going after your personal or finantial information.
