A woman in suburban Philadelphia who pleaded guilty to stalking received an unusual addition to her sentence: She has been barred from using Twitter.
Sadiyyah Young of Pottstown, Pa., pleaded guilty to stalking, forgery, and identity theft charges on Wednesday, which authorities say included harassing tweets aimed at people involved in a custody case for her children. Among the tweets Young posted during the custody battle was one that read, “Somebody should pay all these people a visit, bust out windows and cut tires!”
Young was sentenced to 11 1/2 months to 23 months in jail and three years’ probation, and Judge William Carpenter also banned her from using Twitter for at least five years.
