Former Cop Sentenced for Online Terror
Description
A former Victoria Police sergeant, Craig Lineham, has been jailed for six months after a 18-month campaign of vicious online harassment against feminist Facebook page creator Sarah Baker. Using his authority and access, Lineham posted degrading content, shared her home’s fence photos, created fake accounts, and even duplicated her Facebook page to spread lies — all while targeting her personally and inciting others. The magistrate called it an extreme case of online abuse, and upon release, Lineham faces 12 months of community service and mental health treatment. This landmark case sends a clear message: online harassment, especially by those in power, will not be ignored.
