Arrest made over cruel Tom Daley tweet
A teenager was arrested on Tuesday (31Jul12) on suspicion of sending a hateful message to Olympic diver TOM DALEY via Twitter.com.
The athlete received the cruel taunt after he and partner Pete Waterfield narrowly missed out on winning a medal when they finished fourth in a synchronised diving event at the London 2012 Games on Monday (30Jul12).
Shortly after the event, Daley reposted a message from a now suspended Twitter account, which read, "You let your dad down I hope you know that."
The defiant diver, whose father Rob died from brain cancer last year (11), responded, "After giving it my all... you get idiots sending me this..."
A 17-year-old boy was subsequently detained in Dorset "on suspicion of malicious communications" and faces a £2,500 if convicted.
