Earlier this week, a Pennsylvania county court arraigned a man on charges of contempt of court: he clicked a "like" button in possible breach of a restraining order that had been filed against him by his ex-girlfriend.

The case involves April Holland of Pittston, Pennsylvania, who filed a protection from abuse (PFA) order against her ex-boyfriend Justin Bellanco in July 2015. The Wilkes-Barre Times Leader reported that according to her PFA application, Bellanco "threatened to shoot her knee cap to watch her suffer."

Earlier this month the application was granted, forbidding Bellanco from having any contact with Holland for a year.

Bellanco was arrested on Monday after Holland told local authorities that he "liked" 22 of her photos and videos on her Facebook page.

According to CitizensVoice.com, another local news site:

Bellanco said he did not know that “liking” Facebook photos constituted a PFA violation, according to police. Officers confirmed the PFA against Bellanco was still active, then spoke with a Luzerne County assistant district attorney, who confirmed that Bellanco’s actions constituted a PFA violation, police said.

Neither Bellanco nor Holland immediately responded to Ars’ request for comment.

Jerry Coffee, the owner of Bellanco’s currently listed employer, Coffee’s Sports and Classics, said that he had not seen the 26-year-old in weeks.

According to local media accounts, after being arraigned, Bellanco was released on $5,000 bail.

UPDATE 6:29pm CT: Bellanco responded to Ars via Facebook, saying:

they were actually posts on my facebook wall... nothing I liked appeared on her Facebook ... we weren't friends on facebook and I was planning on deleting my account and wanted to save some photos so I had them backed up .... I liked a bunch of stuff while I was out so when I got home I would be able to just go to my activity log and easily find what I wanted to save... unfortunately she received notification of me liking certain posts that she was tagged in.. I was not aware that she would receive any notification due to the fact we were no longer friends... and I was not able to remove her tag from posts

When Ars asked him to confirm if he believed it was an innocent mistake, he replied:

yes I honestly was under the assumption that she wouldnt have gotten notification of what I was liking... sad part is I had her phone number blocked and she downloaded a texting app to call me and set me up 2 weeks ago

UPDATE #2 9:57pm CT:

Bellanco continued, wholly denying the charges that Holland made against him.
