An individual who had pleaded guilty for spreading false and explicit rumours about women via a YouTube Channel has been sentenced to 06 months of imprisonment, suspended for five years.
The verdict was issued by the Colombo Chief Magistrate Thanuja Lakmali when the Kaduwela resident was produced in court yesterday (31).
The suspect was sentenced when the case filed against him by the Cybercrimes Unit of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) was taken up before the court.
The CID had filed the case after conducting investigations into a complaint filed by a teacher from Colombo.
In her complaint, the teacher had informed that her photo was being used to spread false information on YouTube.
The CID had filed a case under three charges against the suspect. (Newswire)
