Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in California

story in newspaper

Can I do a story in our local newspaper about an upcoming minister in a church that has used young women and then lied about being with them and not get sued? Can I name names or how would I go about warning others about him. My daughter was a victim of his lies for 12 months and he is now denying that they were ever together to his parents, Bishop, church members, work and mutual friends.

You risk being sued for slander if there is anything in your story except the absolute provable truth. She has a lawsuit against him, don't risk harming it by trying to generate 'publicity'. Feel free to contact me if serious about pursuing the case.
