A court in Florida has awarded $11.3m in damages and costs to a woman who
suffered a campaign of abusive harassment on an online bulletin board.
Sue Scheff set up
Parents
Universal Resource Experts to counsel the parents of abused children after
her daughter was abused and harmed at a teen help programme run by the World
Wide Association of Specialty Programs and Schools.
Despite legal attempts to silence Scheff in 2002, the case got to court
following a personal vendetta by a former acquaintance, Carey Bock, who posted a
series of malicious accusations on the
Fornits
bulletin board.
The award may encourage web users to be more circumspect when posting
comments on unmoderated boards and blogs, or the 'wild wild web' as some parts
are known.
"Just because you don't like someone or what they do does not give you carte
blanche to post false statements about a person on the internet," said Scheff
after the trial.
