Huon v. Above the Law

STATUS: Complaint filed on May 6, 2011

N.D. Ill.: Lawyer Sues Legal Blog (Above the Law) for $50M Over Rape Story

Forbes (Blogs)
Getting publicly accused of committing rape is bad enough. Getting publicly accused of committing multiple rapes is considerably worse. Is the difference between the first and the second worth $50 million? That’s how much Chicago attorney Meanith Huon is seeking in damages from Above The Law, a legal-industry gossip blog, and its parent company, Breaking Media. Huon filed suit on May 6 in a federal district court in Illinois, claiming that an erroneous blog post has caused him emotional distress, destroyed his reputation and hurt his ability to find employment.
