A little thumbs up on Facebook turned into a huge thumbs down for a Pennsylvania man. Justin Bellanco, 26, was charged with contempt of court after he “liked” Facebook photos of a women who accused him of harassment. The woman, April Holland, obtained a restraining order against Bellanco. She claimed that her 26-year-old ex-boyfriend was stalking and harassing both her and her friends. According to the Wilkes-Barre Times Leader, Holland, 24, reported that Bellanco even threatened to shoot her in the knee cap. On August 4, a Luzerne County Judge issued a restraining order against Bellanco, which forbade him from contacting Holland for a year. However, despite the restraining order, via Facebook, he “liked” 22 videos and photos on her Facebook page. Pittston, Pennsylvania, police claimed that by liking her Facebook videos and pics, he is in violation of the no-contact retraining order. Bellanco argued that he was unaware that liking Facebook photos and video was out of compliance with the judge’s order. This might be a good time for Holland to update her privacy settings. The couple is not unaccustomed to domestic disputes. According to the Wilkes-Barre Times Leader, Bellanco once obtained a protection from abuse order against his ex-girlfriend. Reportedly, in April 2014, she tried to choke him during a domestic dispute.
