A man in Alberta who used the internet to turn his ex-girlfriend’s life upside down was convicted on Thursday of criminal harassment and sentenced to a year in jail. The man used internet keyloggers and fake e-mail addresses to harass the ex-girlfriend.

Meanwhile, the Australian federal government will ramp up its efforts to catch sexual predators who use the Internet. New offences relating to the luring and grooming children for sexual purposes over the Internet were among the recommendations of the Parliamentary Joint Committee inquiry on Cybercrime agreed to by the government.
