Since Bob hasn't been criminally charged with anything, "outing" him is legally "libel". He could sue, and win.
- jessaustin 11y agoWhy didn't you quote the next sentence, in which I directly addressed the possibility that TFA is wrong about "Bob"? Let me guess, YANAL? In USA, it ain't libel unless it's provably false. If "Bob" could prove that, why did he run?
- ascorbic 11y agoIt's not libel if it's true, and they'd only need to prove that to civil standard.
