The Twitter troll who abused Tom Daley could face a fine of £2,500 if charged and found guilty.
Under the Malicious Communications Act 1988, any ‘indecent or grossly offensive’ message that causes ‘distress or anxiety’ to the recipient can lead to prosecution.
The maximum punishment is a fine not exceeding level four on the standard scale – i.e. no more than £2,500.
Take note………..you got a spare £2,500 terry?
