| A man and a woman have been charged over tweets sent to the feminist campaigner Caroline Criado-Perez. | |
| Isabella Sorley, 23, from Newcastle and John Nimmon, 25, from South Shields, were charged with improper use of a communications network. | |
| They will appear in court on 7 January, the Crown Prosecution Service said. | |
| Ms Criado-Perez said she faced abuse after successfully campaigning for the author Jane Austen to appear on UK banknotes. | |
| The CPS said that after consultation with the police, it had been asked to "make a charging decision" over five suspects who allegedly sent offensive tweets to Ms Criado-Perez and the MP Stella Creasy. | |
| It said it found there was not enough evidence to prosecute one of the remaining three suspects, and it would not be in the public interest to prosecute another. | |
| The fifth suspect faces further police investigations before a decision can be made, it said. |
