Arrest for Obscene Messages

A man in his 20's living near Scranton, Pennsylvania is facing charges he used an internet relay service to send dozens of obscene messages. Police in Hawley say the man admitted what he was doing and claims he was just entertaining himself. The instant message system is intended for use by the deaf. Andrew Brunell would type an offensive message on his computer and the service would call the person and read the message aloud - no matter how crude - between 11pm and 4am.
