Trosch said Cooper used Trosch’s school e-mail account to sign the Myspace terms of agreement contract and privacy policy, and sent e-mails and “friends requests” to Hickory students using Trosch’s e-mail address.

“As a result, in my school district e-mail account, I received auto-generated acceptance e-mails from several students who accepted the impersonator’s invitation,” Trosch said. “Myspace e-mailed me at school to welcome me to the Myspace community and to provide me with the password, KKK, to my new account.”

Cooper also impersonated Trosch to engage in private chat sessions with another student, Trosch said. The private chat log “references” a violent rap song, and the author said everyone will find out who the impersonator is on June 2, the day of graduation. Trosch said.

“The reference to that rap song, coupled with statements in the forged profile ‘TwinTower101’ and ‘the harder you hit me the harder I fall,’ were viewed as imminent threats,” Trosch said.

Gebhart created a fictitious Hotmail account that included Trosch’s name to create his profile, which used sexually vulgar language, Trosch said.

Layshock created a fictitious Yahoo e-mail address that included Trosch’s name to create his profile.

“A number of persons, including Hickory High School students, responded to mailed ‘friends requests’ sent to them by Layshock while he was impersonating me through the forged account,” Trosch said.
