Shannen Rossmiller

The idea of exposing herself like that terrified her. Understand, the judge agreed with the prosecutor that her real identity should be explained to the court. She was in a tough spot now.

But what's more important to her, bringing this man to justice or protecting herself?

All her details were exposed. Shannon and Randy's worst fears were now a reality. With her real name out there, as someone who's been picking fights with jihadists online, what real-life consequences would that have? Well, her online presence was now blown.

And they discovered the one in the name that she was using on the forum post, too. And it took years for her to build up these personas and to infiltrate these inner circles of Islamic extremism.

I had, you know, been concerned about, you know, being a sitting judge at the time. You know, I was very confident that what I was doing, you know, wasn't unethical, but yet there wasn't anything, there's nothing like this before.

Holy crap, Al-Qaeda is threatening her life, placing her on their enemy list, and she's fully doxed and she's just like, I don't quit. I mean, wow, that is some fearless determination. She was quite a woman. Within weeks of her court appearance, a message was left at her courthouse.
