Shortly after an Alpharetta man was charged with sexually assaulting a 20-year-old woman as she slept in the adjoining seat on a Delta Air Lines flight from Dallas to Atlanta last fall, a friend of the man’s son “friended” the victim on Facebook.
The son’s friend then passed the information he had gleaned to defense attorneys who began contacting the victim’s network of friends and family, according to federal prosecutors in Atlanta. That access to the victim’s Facebook page also prompted attorneys for Alpharetta resident Ranchhodbhai Lakha, 61, to seek a court order forcing Facebook to surrender all of the victim’s public and private Facebook posts, including comments on her wall, chats with friends, messages, photos, notes and relationship status updates.
