The latest in a series of actions by police that show they’re taking online death threats seriously:
Police say they have arrested a 31-year-old man for allegedly posting an Internet threat to kill Japanese Crown Prince Naruhito.
Takeshi Yamamoto, an unemployed man in Gifu Prefecture has been charged with posting the threat, which caused a police alert on an anonymous bulletin board, Kyodo News reported Saturday.
The man reportedly has admitted to posting the message, ”I will kill the crown prince,” through his home computer Aug. 13. But he now maintains it was just a hoax.
