" the issue of privacy comes up time and again, in victims' accounts of their misfortunes. Whether or not a conviction is secured - often as part of an appeal for witnesses, or simply a newspaper testimonial - the victims of happy slapping return to the same theme. More often than not, they proclaim that knowing their humiliation is being circulated by multimedia messaging services is worse than the original attack."
