A 25-YEAR-OLD man has been charged with using a carrier service to menace, harass or cause offence, after allegedly posting derogatory comments about a Sydney woman whose Tinder profile was widely shared on social media.

In August, a different man named Chris Hall publicly shared a screenshot of Olivia Melville’s Tinder profile on Facebook.

Ms Melville’s Tinder bio referenced a lyric from Canadian singer Drake’s hit song Only. “Type of girl that will suck you dry and then eat some lunch with you,” her bio read.

Mr Hall posted the screenshot on his Facebook page with the caption, “Stay classy ladies. I’m surprised she’d still be hungry for lunch.” Mr Hall was later fired from his job for violating his employer’s social media policy

Ms Melville’s friends shared Mr Hall’s post and criticised him for “sl** shaming” their friend.

Zane Alchin, the man charged, allegedly commented on several of these posts with offensive comments. One of his alleged comments read: “It’s people like you who make it clear women should never have been given rights.”

News.com.au has chosen not to republish the rest of Mr Alchin’s alleged comments due to their extremely graphic nature.

Ms Melville’s friends formed an activist group called Sexual Violence Won’t Be Silenced (SVWBS) and campaigned for Mr Alchin to be charged.

“SVWBS was formed after these threats were made over Facebook. Local police initially told us that little could be done, but we refused to let that be the case,” the group said in a statement.

“Thanks to the swift public response to the advocacy group we had a tally of over 8,000 Facebook followers and over 15,000 signatures on their petition that aims to change the way law enforcement responds to these threats.

“SVWBS would like to thank the Newtown Local Police for their hard work on this case. [We] also thank every person who signed the petition, followed the page and supported the movement.”

Mr Alchin will appear in Newtown Local Court on Thursday.
