A Spanish court has sentenced a man to ten years in prison after he was found guilty of encouraging a minor to end their own life by sending threatening and harassing messages on WhatsApp.
The Provincial Court of Castellón has sentenced the man to ten years in prison after he was convicted of homicide by a jury in July over his threats and harassment toward a 17-year-old in December of 2016, leading the minor to take his own life.
The court found the man had contacted the minor with 117 messages on the messaging platform WhatsApp in the span of just three hours, with much of the messaging being threats and intimidating content, the newspaperDuring the exchange of messages, the minor told the man that if he continued to bully him then he would end his own life and despite this, the man continued sending the minor threats.
