Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Illinois
i am a domestic violence survivor. tried to forgive and forgive and finally divorced. The EX was charged for beating me back in 2000 and since had his battery sealed. Thru the divorce, i found out alot more about how he was stalking and surveiing me using CCTV, GPS, email and cellphone. He is very sneaky and threatening. Is there any legal problems with identifying myself ( REAL NAME) online and posting the photos of his attack on me, doctor reports from hurting my son when he was young and written threats i have found that he sent to IRS and a congressman. He even emailed me death threats that I didn't initially take seriously. I'd like to have a website and help to speak out about domestic violence with I lived thru for 30 years. i believe i could help others. I just dont wanna post my name and have him come back and sue me, which would only re-victimize me.

Truth is a defense legally. You can help by casting this as news and public service information with guidance on how others can avoid being abused and what remedies and help are available. Unless your ex is behind bars you need to take precautions against possible revenge and react immediately if there is any threat.
