An Ohio blogger called “The Rooster” was put on trial for sending NSFW Shrek memes to a state senator. A jury just found him guilty of telecommunications harassment in record time.

Cleveland News 5 reports that it only took Lake County jurors 30 minutes to decide that D.J. Byrnes was guilty of taunting Sen. Jerry Cirino (R-Kirtland) with not one but two texted memes of Shrek holding his genitals. While he faced up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine, the judge in the case reduced sentence to court costs and a $200 fine.

Byrnes was reportedly harassing Cirino with the pics following a failed bid for Senate president. “There is a line to be drawn between normalized interaction on issues and policy and votes and et cetera, that allow for agreement and disagreement and lots of debate on a professional basis,” the Senator said in a prior interview. “There is a line that shouldn’t be crossed.”

An image of the offending texts at trial was censored but appeared to show a picture of naked Shrek with the words below it that read, “Good to see you finally made your final humiliation public, Young Mussolini! The Patriots Caucus sends its regards!!!!!!!!!!”

The trial lasted two days in which Byrnes tried to mount a free speech defense. One of the witnesses called on behalf of the defense was a lobbyist named Bobby Ina.
