A Hobart court has heard there was nothing sinister or untoward in the actions of a convicted rapist and killer when he joined multiple dating sites, and used an alias on Facebook.
He used the Facebook messenger service to send two messages to a woman he had begun dating after meeting her online. He was also charged with fraud offences but today those charges were dismissed, after prosecutors tendered no evidence.Defence lawyer Fabiano Cangelosi said Curtis had"a late 1980s understanding of technology" and"a naive idea of what you can do with a mobile phone"."The result of that was that in 1986 when he went to jail, he knew of personal computers but he didn't have one … he had very limited use of a computer [in jail].
Mr Cangelosi said the alias Curtis used on Facebook was not created to avoid police detection, but rather because he was aware that he would be the target of unwanted attention because of his past crimes.
