employee.
For you to find the defendant1 guilty of this offense, the State must
prove five things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant used a [computer] [computer network];
Second, that the defendant [copied and disseminated] [caused to
be made] an unauthorized copy of any data2 pertaining to (name school
employee);
Third, that the defendant did this for the purpose of [intimidating]
[tormenting] that school employee;
Fourth, that the defendant was a student at (name school);
And Fifth, that the victim of the cyber-bullying was a school
employee.3
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date the defendant was a student and used a
[computer] [computer network], and that the defendant [copied and
disseminated] [caused to be made] an unauthorized copy of any data
pertaining to a school employee, and that the defendant did this for the
purpose of [intimidating] [tormenting] that school employee, it would be
your duty to return a verdict of guilty. If you do not so find or have a
reasonable doubt as to one or more of these things, then it would be
your duty to return a verdict of not guilty.
