Ill. Man Charged with Cyberstalking on Facebook
DECATUR, Ill. (AP) -- A 20-year-old Decatur man has been charged with cyberstalking after police say he sent a woman cruel messages about her dead father on Facebook.

The (Decatur) Herald & Review reports that Cody Suka is free after posting 10 percent of his $5,000 bond.

The woman reported to authorities that she'd received 40 ``vile and vulgar'' Facebook messages over nearly two months about the death of her father, who died in a car accident.

And she says she doesn't think she's ever met Suka.

But Macon County sheriff's officers say Suka admitted to sending the messages to upset the victim because he thought he'd overheard her call him a virgin.

No published telephone listing for Suka could be found. It wasn't immediately clear whether he has an attorney.
