Just a minor nitpick, but actually, matching the MAC address of her cable modem does not prove that someone else wasn't using it since the cable modem would be positioned between any Wi-Fi or other routers and her computer. That being said, with no Wi-Fi, it does limit the abuse to her house... and all the other evidence seems to point to her guilt.. so it is just a minor nitpick.
