It's human nature to feel sorry for her. She had bad things happen to her that she was unprepared to guard against. However, ignorance is not a valid excuse or defense. She willingly entered the chat room, developed a relationship with this "cyberstalker" and from what I've read did not take steps to isolate and protect her system and thus unprotecting herself. By installing and using such devices we accept a certain degree of personal risk and must accept the responsibility to protect ourselves. Help is out there, all we have to do is ask how to secure ourselves.
It seems to me that this girl went in search of adventure, found some fun on the internet, went a bit too far and got burned. Possibility???
Question: If her computer was actually 'hacked' from another source wouldn't there be some way to investigate this? A record of commands given to the system and where they actually came from?
