I am not a lawyer but am aware of the laws on defamation - and normally truth is a complete defence against libel and slander, except in the case of sexually transmitted diseases in which case whether true or a lie it is usually always defamatory - won't bore you with the reasons why.
And before you say defamation cases are notoriously expensive and no escort is going to go to court - have you heard of no win no fee cases where lawyers have a dead cert case, especially as a punter is even less likely to go to court to defend a case rather than settle out of court?
Just saying - before anyone starts throwing names around.
Barry you have a misunderstanding of no win no fee lawyers. They wont touch defamation cases. Even when they take up other cases, they buy ATE (after the event) insurance to cover themselves. The insurance will insist that the case has a more than 75% chance of success. This is not a dead cert case, especially if you really have had std - case notes from the gum clinic will prove this and as soon as they see the evidence, the lawyer will drop the case.
Also getting your details will mean going to court for an Order which will add up the fees.
I have looked at taking a case for defamation in the past and have looked into this in a lot of detail.
But saying that a punter may value his anonimity more than helping other punters. In that case, the poster should simply have not posted.
