Hey guys, girlfriend's got a restraining order against you? Thinking of stalking her on Facebook instead? Well think again. A man has been charged with violating his no-contact order after "liking" his ex-girlfriend's Facebook videos and photos.
April Holland filed a restraining order against her ex-boyfriend Justin Bellanco, claiming he had been stalking and harassing her and her friends -- even threatening to shoot her in the knee cap just to watch her suffer. According to the Wilkes-Barre Times Leader, the judge granted Holand's order on August 4, forbidding Bellanco from making contact for a full year.
And then Bellanco had to go and "like" 22 of Holland's photos and videos. Busted! Also, what a creepy, weird thing to do. Police arrested him and charged him with contempt of court.

Of course, Holland could have enabled Bellanco to follow that court order by blocking him from Facebook. But that's not her job -- ultimately it's his responsibility to resist the temptation to stalk her online. According to the Citizen's Voice Bellanco didn't know Facebook stalking counted. But please -- surely he knew that at the very least he was pushing a boundary he really shouldn't.
Think of how Holland must have felt when she saw all those likes. They probably sprung up overnight like mushrooms, the result of a Jägermeister-fueled all-nighter.
Interesting side note: Bellanco filed a restraining order against Holland in 2014 claiming she choked him while he tried to escort her off his property during a dispute. His PFA expired just a few months before she filed hers against him.
