What exactly is the standard for "serious emotional, mental or psychological harm" under Criminal Law?
I cannot find any Case Law to help define this apart from Judge McGill of the District Court stating that being "upset" does not constitute the above.
Knowing that the detriment had to have arisen reasonably, is telling a woman you're going to get back at her for a really bad thing she did to you by telling her partner she cheated on him with you serious mental harm that's reasonably arisen? Although it may have been distasteful, what about forwarding proof her father was allegedly cheating on her mother?
She openly admits to never having believed it in the first place and yet that forms the basis for the charge.
Been charged by what I suspect is a stupid cop, keen to write representations for a withdrawal if people can provide an opinion...
