Massachusetts's law officials have informed Activeworlds Inc. that the
alleged father of "M A T T" has been served by the District Attorney in
Kentucky with a subpoena to appear before a Grand Jury on Thursday January
14th regarding the charges against his son's activities in Activeworlds.
Currently there are many claims against M A T T, including but not limited
to, credit card fraud, hacking, theft and various postal mail violations.



As many of you have lodged complaints against M A T T and many have recently
been attacked by him please resend all complaints or post new complaints to
ABUSE at ACTIVEWORLDS.COM Please include "ABUSE BY M A T T" in the subject
line. Also, if you feel your complaint is about criminal activity or has
resulted in monetary loss please include details or amounts. If you wish to
file your own charges and need the contact info for the investigators or
even M A T T please include this in your email.



This is the first part of an ongoing investigation regarding M A T T and his
friends. If you are reading this and have been helping M A T T please be
aware that you are likely already a part of this investigation. If this is
the case it might get VERY expensive very quickly. Even if you are "just
friends" with people like this we have probably already given your name to
law enforcement agencies. Just to appear in court as a subpoenaed witness
will cost you.



Activeworlds, Inc. will not tolerate any criminal activity or abuse of our
clients if it is in our power to stop it. Activeworlds, Inc. will be
pressing charges against any people involved. We will continue to assist
investigators to locate anyone involved in this case or any others. If the
individuals are minors these charges are filed against their parents who are
never very happy to go before a Grand Jury to start their Thursday.



To all those who have helped in the investigation thank you.





Rick Noll

CONGRATULATIONS AWI and friends for the good work in finally nailing this
kid even if it is through his father... I know a lot of hours went into
trying to put a stop to the type of abuses done by MATT...

I hope he gets a bit more than just his patties slapped when his Dad is made
fully aware of just what MATT's activities have brought down on him..

I just wish to say THANK YOU! I have been watching these problems with
growing concern, and I am glad that it is finally taking a turn for the
better. There is not any fun in a community where you have to watch your
back every second or your work will be stolen and or destroyed.

Perhaps now we can make a community that we are all proud of.

punishment he deserves.

That's great news! Hope he gets what he deserves, and that this will keep
him away from computer networks for the foreseeable future.

Thanks for whatever you've done to make this happen!

But for the record you really need to thank Calpantera, Grimm and Cryonics.
They did all the work with the authorities and deserve all the credit.

Can yer kinda... disclose his name? Calling Him M a t t is no longer any
particular use to everyone now... and it will make it easier for writing
things up, his name is highly annoying with caps and spaces.

Appart from that; nice job everyone involved.

I don't think corporations are allowed to reveal clients actual names - it's
against the privacy act

I don't know about the US, but in Canada, you can't reveal the
name of a minor no matter what crime they are charged with.

The charges their guardian has to answer should be a matter of
public record though if you know how to find and retreive
such information.

AWI may not be able to release M A T T's name because: a) obvious
pending legal reasons, b) he is probably a minor and certain laws may
not allow the release of his identity at his current age.

Aye same goes for laws in America

Any minor charged with any crime will not have their name released.

Browse this site yourselves:

http://dockets.kycourts.net/Counties/kentucky_counties.htm

You may find things there such as:

DI 03-F-00010 COMMONWEALTH VS. XXXXXXXX
JURY TRIAL



4 0008220 Terroristic Threat, 3rd Degree NA
5 0008220 Terroristic Threat, 3rd Degree NA
6 0008220 Terroristic Threat, 3rd Degree NA
1A 0512610 Unlawful Access Computer, 2 Deg NA
2A 0512610 Unlawful Access Computer, 2 Deg NA
3A 0512610 Unlawful Access Computer, 2 Deg NA



I've removed the name since I can't say for certain that this is the
right entry, but I looked at Pike county District court dockets, which
are public information and posted on that site.

The dockets are 'live' so tomorrow this information will be gone.

That record for the jury trial cannot be the one in regards to M A T T.
The case you posted is going to trial today. M A T Ts case hasn't gone
to trial, there has not even been an arraignment on any charges yet.
The purpose of the grand jury is to determine whether there is
sufficient evidence for indictment against the defendant and whether to
proceed with a criminal case. If the grand jury decides to proceed with
an indictment, then the defendant is formally charged and arrainged.
Afterwhich point he will have the opportunity to enter a plea on the
case. If he enters a plea of guilty or no contest, then the case is set
for sentencing. If a plea of not guilty is entered, then the case is
set for trial. This whole process can take several months and require
many court appearances before the final trial date.
