Animal rights activist faces sentencing today for harassing WSU researcher

Detroit — An animal rights activist is expected to face sentencing Wednesday for using social media to harass a Wayne State University researcher and trespassing on university property.

Camille Marino of Wildwood, Fla., entered the plea in Wayne County Circuit Court last month to unlawful posting of a message with aggravating circumstances and trespassing.

Marino is accused of harassing Donal O'Leary, who does cardiovascular research involving animals at WSU.

O'Leary sought a personal protection order against Marino in October 2011 after she published his home address and comments about him on a "Negotiation is Over" blog and other Internet sites. The researcher subsequently received emails from animal rights activists, including Marino, that led him to fear for his safety.
