A case about defamation

 In this post, I want to write a case about defamation to understand more about it.

A woman called Sybil Denise Ballow was accused to post false and malicious information or allegations against Gene Cooly, a man who she barely knew him. She posted these allegations on the Topix.com, a common site like other social networks.

She posted on topix.com that Gene Cooly is a drug addicted criminal and pedophile among other things. When she was in the court and asked to tell about her defenses, she told that she accepts her crime and has no defense on it. Then the court condemned her to $404,000 that should be paid by her.

So you obviously see that there happened a defamation crime and if I go through defamation elements so for the first element, it means Refer I should say that she directly pointed out to a person called Gene Cooly.

The second element is publishing that in this case we saw that the allegations was posted and published on Topix.com, The world’s largest community news website.

The third element is false; I mean she couldn’t prove that those allegation were true.

And the last element is that her allegations injured the plaintiff’s reputation and caused him to lose his job and even leaving his living town. Besides it leads to have problems with his fiancé’s family.

Considering all elements and not having defense, the court has summoned Sybil to be awarded $ 404’000.
