Police investigate 'hate' website
Laptop
The site alleges the teenager sold a broken laptop on eBay
A website apparently created to ridicule a teenager by showing his photograph alongside pornographic images is being investigated by police.

The website targeting the 19-year-old has received more than half a million hits since it went live.

The site alleges the young man from Barnet, north London, sold a broken laptop computer on eBay.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said it was reported to them on Monday and the case is being investigated by Barnet police.

It shows pictures of his family and friends and pornography the buyer of the laptop claims to have found on the hard drive.

Womens' legs

There are also pictures of the teenager with a bare chest, sporting a drawn-on moustache and devil's horns, kissing a girl.

Other images include pictures of womens' legs apparently taken on the London Underground.

"We have got an allegation of improper use of public electronic communications network that was reported to us on 29 May in person at Fulham police station," he said.

"The allegation follows from a civil dispute. No arrests have been made and inquiries continue."
