What an idiot.  Sorry... but...

"I know we haven't talked in forever" - because she had a no contact order out on you dude!

"I'm not trying to start any drama with nobody in your life or anything" - Dude! She hates you enough to never want to hear from you again!

"I am still disappointed how everything played out" - Ok, now you're just being creepy. 

"Well idk if u will respond or not but best wishes for 2011." - Yeah, I guess she responded.  Hopefully your night in jail taught you the the no contact order wasn't just for kicks.

No means NO Trevor.

maybe im missing something or could be convinced otherwise, but am i the only one that thinks its remarkably classless of UM to release the message in question?

I have to believe he approved the release, maybe to demonstrate the message itself was benign, and it wasn't like he was threatening the woman. I understand he shouldn't have been reaching out to her at all, but the release may be to fight the assumption many likely had that the message was threatening or something along those lines.

That's probably true. I kind of feel bad for the guy. Did he do something wrong? Of course. Does he deserve what he got? Sure. I'm not justifying it. But people do irrational and stupid things in relationships and breakups, and this seems pretty minor. I hope this is a wake up call to him and he just learns from it and moves forward.

Edit:  Also a little strange she had a restraining order on him yet hadn't blocked him on facebook. If you already went to the cops, wouldn't you at least think about cutting off all forms of contact?

why wouldnt she have to approve the release as well? his conduct toward her was the original reason for all this.  doesn't seem like UM should be able to just release the message even with Mbakwe's consent, its just more disempowering of a victim (who was victimized again by the violation of the order, in the legal sense, even if the contact seems trivial)

One of the first articles linked seems to indicate he contacted her via a mutual friend's account.

Edit - oh there it is

Apparently, Mbakwe got together with a mutual friend and sent her a message via Facebook
