The Internal Security Forces arrested a man in Mount Lebanon accused of creating fake social media accounts to defame a minor, the agency said in a statement released Thursday. On March 22, a Nabatieh resident filed a complaint to the ISF’s Anti-Cybercrime and Intellectual Property Rights Bureau, saying his daughter, a minor, was being impersonated and defamed on social media. Earlier this week, the ISF arrested an Iraqi national suspected of the crime in Haret Naameh. He was identified as B.B., born in 1974. He reportedly confessed to meeting the girl on social media. After the two had a fight, he reportedly created several fake accounts using her real name and pictures she had sent him, with the aim of humiliating her and her family.
