AGAINST the backdrop of the police complaint and subsequent arrest in a case of cyber abuse against actor Honey Rose, concerns have emerged in the public domain about whether a comment or reply can lead to detention.

"In this specific case, the offences were charged under sections addressing assault against women, particularly for sexually coloured remarks.
