Self-proclaimed Facebook publisher Kishore Kumar has been convicted for a series of online attacks against Assistant Minister for Foreign Affairs Lenora Qereqeretabua.
The Suva Magistrates Court found him guilty after he pleaded to six counts of unauthorized access to computer systems and causing harm through electronic communication and one count of criminal intimidation.
The charges relate to videos he posted between July and August 2020, where he made damaging claims about Qereqeretabua.
In the videos, he alleged that a pornographic video involving the MP existed.
Kumar told the court that he made the guilty plea of his own free will.
