I just watched the 2013 remake of Carrie and without giving too much of a review, I just wanna say beforehand that I loved it, every single piece of it.
However, and here's where we enter spoiler territory so look away if you haven't seen it, there is one rather big piece of a puzzle that I haven't managed to fit in:
For those of you who haven't seen the movie, I'm sorry, but this question reveals big plot points.

WARNING: "Major plot points" spoilers below
In the beginning of the movie, Carrie gets filmed in the shower while the girls bully her. The film is even put on Youtube and the girl who filmed it got caught. Later, the same girl is about to ruin Carrie's big prom moment and her boyfriend warns her that they are about to commit a federal offense.
My question is: Isn't assault a "regular" offense and filming an underage, naked girl in a shower and then publish the film a federal offense? And what makes pouring blood on someone a harsher crime than instigating a mob to abuse the same person and filming it?
I mean neither of them is good, but since the perp got caught the first time and had a record, it only seems logical to me that she would be put in jail awaiting trial for abuse and filming of underaged girls in the shower, or at least under police surveillance, not roaming free to kill pigs and pour the blood over other girls.
