6 Cases Of Cyber Bullying Registered In 2026: 3 Victims Under Age Of 15

According to information tabled in parliament, there were six cases of cyber bullying registered in 2026 by the Police Corps.

The data shows that three of the victims were under 15 years of age, with two of them being 14 years old and one being 13. All three of these were female victims.

The other victims were aged 52, 23 and 40, with the 42 year old being the only male victim.

The figures were provided in response to a parliamentary question, with the government noting that data for 2025 had already been supplied in an earlier parliamentary reply.

Since then, four reports of alleged cyberbullying were registered in the Police Corps' electronic system. A further two cases emerged during investigations into other offences, bringing the total number of identified cyberbullying cases to six.

It was clarified that these cases were specifically classified as cyberbullying rather than online harassment.

Legal action has so far been taken in two of the six cases, while charges have been filed in a third case. Investigations into the remaining three cases are still ongoing. The reply also notes that no legal action was taken in one of the cases.
