The Internet and the law collided awkwardly again recently, as a judge in Connecticut has ruled that a man, Andrew Reitenbach, who sent three threatening e-mails to a female student, be prohibited from accessing the Internet. Reitenbach, a 21 year-old student at the University of Connecticut in Torrington, had been arrested last Saturday and charged with second-degree breach of peace, second-degree harassment, and attempt to commit coercion. The judge also ordered Reitenbach to stay away from the victim and her friends, possess no weapons nor explosive devices, and submit to an evaluation and possible treatment for substance abuse.
