The Megan Meier suicide controversy concerns the suicide of Megan Taylor Meier^[1][2] (November 6, 1992 – October 17, 2006), who was an American teenager from Dardenne Prairie, Missouri.

Meier's suicide has been attributed to cyber-bullying through an account on the social networking website MySpace. The account, purportedly belonging to a 16-year-old male named "Josh Evans," was created and monitored by the mother of a friend of Meier,^[3] whom a police report identified as Lori Janine Drew.^[4]

A federal grand jury indicted Lori Drew on May 15, 2008, on three counts of accessing protected computers without authorization to obtain information to inflict emotional distress, and one count of criminal conspiracy .^[5] A penalty of up to five years in prison corresponds to each of the four counts that the indictment carries.^[6]The case has caused several jurisdictions to consider legislation prohibiting harassment over the internet.^[7]
