A Twitter troll has been jailed for trolling Member of Parliament (MP), Stella Creasy, with abusive messages after she supported a successful campaign to put Jane Austen on the 10 note.
City of London magistrates’ court heard that Peter Nunn retweeted menacing posts threatening to rape the Walthamstow MP, and even called her a ‘witch’.
Nun claimed he sent the messages to ‘exercise his freedom of speech’ and satirize the issue of trolling.
