A Social Media Saga with a Sprinkle of Legal Drama
Everyone’s been buzzing about Ms. Monica Baey and her Instagram stories. But what no one noticed was that she actually posted the perpetrator’s full profile online—name, photos, university department, and even his job spot.
Why That Matters
The New Paper lawyers say this might bite under Parliament’s new “doxxing” clause that’s about to go live.
- Lawyer Fong Wei Li: “If the new laws catch that intent, this could be harassment.”
- Lawyer Gloria James: “She could share her story without handing the culprit a bullet‑in‑hand of personal info. Keep it light, keep it fair.”
When Victim Meets Accused
Even though Ms. Baey was victim‑convicted, Fong says that status doesn’t protect her from a legal back‑fire. The only shot left is if the guy feels harassed, he can sit up and sue.
The Bottom Line
Did Ms. Baey go too far?
- She shared more than needed for justice.
- She might have set herself up for legal trouble.
- Remember: you can be heroic without crossing into doxxing.
