Defamation requires the publication of untrue (false) statements of fact about a person which harms that person's reputation. Defamation includes both libel (written) and slandar (spoken).\n\nA person can be sued if they publish (make public) false statements, which causes the target person harm. If the target person is a public official or celebrity, there also needs to be proof that the person making the statement knew it was (or likely was) false when it was made. In private defamation actions, that additional knowledge element is not required.\n\nOther than that, details of elements and how the complaint would be structured vary by state. Check your local listings.

Get a badge number, GO to the station,and file a report for harrassment.  IF they do not investigate it, THEN get a lawyer.  I have had a friend in this situation before and they got it solved by saying "Laywer"

Seems a little strange that you would post that. Agree with first answer seems like more than a question.  Did you just want to tell the world that she lives with a 39 year old...well you just did.  Hope if she finds out that the 39 year old is not an attorney or knows one because this could constitute harassment. Just a little friendly advice.

That is a really good question.  I totally agree with you on all points.  Its always sue this person, sue that person.  What happened to freedom of speech?  No one has a sense of humor.  I am a fat woman,  I have been teased all my life.  I think fat women are the last of the species that people can still make fun of.  You never hear anyone talk about the fat bubbas laying on the beach making fun of fat women.  But so what?  I am what I am.  I'm sure not going to sue someone over it.  Or go whinning to the ACLU.

You DO have legal recourse, regardless of anything you may have done to pizz her off.  She might just blow away if you were to confront her and answer her questions and take her hostile comments so she she could get it out of her system.  Then again, she could cut the brake cables on your car.  Obviously she is obsessed with knowing fine details about who you are, and is in a poor state of mental health.  Such people can be very dangerous.  Get in touch with local law enforcement now and ask them what can be done.  Your coworkers are witnesses.  The police are there to protect you, not to judge you.

I would take the time to sit down and write a formal complaint at least against her, and make sure it went to her department. As for him, he is less of a man not to take some kind of action to keep this issue from blowing up.\n\nCops are humans too, and a small percent, about 1% are on the take, sleazy, or cheats. In a department with a few thousand officers, that 1% is a pretty good number.\n\nI am sure the Captain or Chief will look at your complaint and act on it. Also, phone calls can be reported as harassment calls to the local phone company. If the phone company records show that yes, it is harassment, they can shut off the offenders phone, and not allow them to get phone service for a long time.\n\nYou have rights too, don't roll over and play dead, act and get something done, then go on with your life.

Yes, anyody can sue for anything they want to.  The sad part is what you describe has probably already happened.  I remember a case from when I was young that a woman sued the man that saved her,(his job), becuause he did not make sure that she was continually covered up thereby embarassing her.  He saved her life and had to pay her for what she felt like was a violation of her modesty.  Go figure!

You could probably file a defamation of character lawsuit.  I doubt the police would do anything about this.  However, a lawsuit would be expensive and messy for both parties.  You're better off letting it slide, taking the high road and living your life honorably, knowing that these people are petty and not worthy of your attentions.\n\nLight always shines through the darkness and I'm sure the people who know you are aware of your character.

Recently, an anti-stalking bill was passed by Congress that  akes it a federal crime to "annoy" someone over the Internet, specifically, to anonymously "annoy, abuse, threaten or harass" another person over the Internet.\n \nThis article has more info, and some case examples:\nhttp://www.azcentral.com/offbeat/articles/0219cyberstalking0210.html

that depends entirely on the setting (are you at work and a collegue said something off-color?), the person (you can't respond the same way to your boss as you can to a peer), and exactly what was said/done (i.e. was it a minor slip or something that you possibly took the wrong way, or was it a major, totally out-of-line thing)???\n\ndepending on the level, who/what was involved, etc, anything from turning the other cheek & ignoring the person (while calling them some choice words in your inner monologue!) to a swift kick in the nuts might be in order. typically I abhore sue-happy people, but if it's a case of a superior at work sexually harrassing you or making unwanted racial or sexual comments, etc, then legal recourse may be a possible route...

Slander is a legal offense. So I would just keep a record of what she does do. Copy and download the exact website where she is posting your pictures (not just the link, because she can remove the content later) and stuff so you have actual physical evidence of her slandering you. Best advice is to keep tabs and records of everything so when you do report to legal authorities you have substance.

Neither of these statments is even close to being true.  If someone spoke the line you said and another changed it, the term for what the second person did would be "misquoting".  The term for what the first did would most likely be "libel".

Living well is the best revenge. If this person is really trying to ruin your reputation, you can go to court and file a harassment charge. Other than that, you can simply do business in an ethical way, be active in your business community, be good to your employees and customers, etc. In other words, you build a reputation that flies in the face of what she says. She will eventually dig her own grave. Trust me.\n\nThis happened with a former boyfriend who broke up with me. He tried to justify it by telling his friends and his new girlfriend all kinds of things about me. I got even by being totally sweet to all of them. It was the best way to prove that his lies were not true and that I was better than he was, anyway,.

Go to the CAB and/or look in phone book for a local Law Centre (free lawyers - if one of them is qualified in employment law they will take on your case if then think it has merit.) Your employer is liable for the actions of its employees\n\nMeanwhile, take detailed notes of the bullying: when, what, who, why. Find out what your workplace grievance procedure is (you have to go through this before you can bring a claim if thats what you end up doing). Also if you have a trade union, speak to them first. Good luck.
