[QUOTE="Abyss, post: 2264470, member: 234793"] I'm sorry for asking the same question twice, but I'm really scared about the possibility of getting arrested. Basically, I made an account on a social networking website and used someone else's photos. I pretended to be this person for several months, and during those months I spoke with a lot of different people (nothing bad or anything, just minor smalltalk). However, I have recently decided to stop doing this, and therefore deleted all the photos that I used. There was a Flickr account that I made a year ago with the same person's photos, and the reason I did this was because I thought the girl's photos were actually really good (again, posting photos that aren't mine is totally against the rules). I reported my own account using a different e-mail address, and sent the girl I stole the photos from an e-mail telling her that someone put her photos on Flickr without her permission. But I didn't tell her that it was me. It probably wasn't the wisest thing to do, but I had to tell the truth *somewhat*, so I just told her to report it so they can get it taken down. Anyhow, I'm 15, and I really didn't mean any harm to what I did. I know it sounds pathetic and horrible, but I didn't know that what I was doing was CRIMINAL. Am I going to get arrested? What should I do? [/QUOTE]
