Tom Daley: Troll Bailed

"The 17 year-old arrested in the Weymouth area this morning, Tuesday July 31, on suspicion of malicious communication has been issued with a harassment warning in connection to tweets to Olympic diver Tom Daley.
"In addition to the warning the teenager has been bailed to return to the police station at a later date whilst Dorset Police investigate other communications on his Twitter account."

Dorset Police on Twitter.
So the police are really concerned about tweets unrelated to Tom Daley, but are about "other things" in his account?
Just like I kept saying, you mean? 
It would save so much time if everyone just listened to me in the first place, you know.

For the record, newspapers that got this story wrong and said the police were only concerned  about tweets about Tom Daley and his dad, and made no mention there might be more serious charges; Daily Express, Daily Mail, Daily Mirror, Daily Star, Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, The Independent, The Sun, The Times... 
Expect full retractions tomorrow (joke).
Most clarified their story and noted that there were other later tweets that threatened violence (the story broke this morning and has been constantly updated).
I think the main propagator of the myth that the troll was arrested over the "You let your dad down i hope you know that" tweet was BBC News - TV, radio and website.
Their main website story has since been updated. 
The BBC's original take on it can still be seen on the Newsround site;
'Police arrest teenager over Tom Daley Twitter message... Dorset Police confirmed they were looking into a tweet which accused him of letting his late father down."
You can hear the undoctored, unupdated BBC version on Radio 4's "flagship news programme" The World At One here (3.40 in)
Hardly surprising then that many took to Twitter or blogged to say how it was completely over-the-top to arrest someone just for sending an offensive tweet about Tom Daley's dad.
Well, yes, it would be, if it had actually happened. 
Well done the BBC - another winner! etc etc

PS No wait, there's more...

'A teenager arrested over a malicious tweet sent to Team GB diver Tom Daley has been issued with a warning... 
'It told him he had let down his father Rob, who died in 2011 from cancer.
'Police said the teenager was given a harassment warning before being bailed pending an investigation into other communications on his Twitter account...'

Horrendously garbled nonsense from BBC News.
Good job they don't just cut-and-paste their old discredited stories and add some new bits that completely negate their original falsehood.
Unbelievable.
