“Your humble servant”, Joseph Budna, of Trial Farm Village has been arrested and charged in connection with multiple cybercrime offences.
According to ASP Stacy Smith of the Belize Police Department, Bunda, the self-proclaimed journalist, was taken into custody on Friday and charged with two counts of using a computer system to publish data intended to cause substantial emotional distress. He also faces one count of using a computer system to disseminate false information with the intent to subject another person to public ridicule.
The charges stem from a report filed by a female complainant, who alleged that several online posts made by Bunda caused her harm.
ASP Smith also spoke of a report made by Budna against a man who whipped him with what appeared to be a riding crop last week. Smith said, “police have commenced an investigation and are in the process of recording statements in relation to the allegations made by Mr. Budna.”
