<p>[QUOTE="Coinchemistry 2012, post: 1044765, member: 28107"]If you decide to file a police report as initially suggested by the original poster, then you should make sure that you have concrete proof. The police won't get involved without proof, and you may get yourself in trouble if you go smearing someone's reputation without proof as someone suggested. This is borderline defamation / libel or slander (depending on form of transmission). Given that you would be attacking his career, depending on jurisdiction, you may be sued for defamation <i>per se</i>. Yes, truth is a good defense, but you must prove it if you get sued (i.e. once the plaintiff had satisfied his burden of proof)! This is especially true if this is the same post that was made on the NGC forums where there was some implication that the victim may not recall what happened. Your own statements or implications could come back to haunt you. P.S. I apologize if the original poster is not the same as on the NGC boards. Nevertheless, the same ideas apply in response to the suggestions of my fellow posters.</p><p><br /></p><p><u>Disclaimer:</u> Nothing in this email is to be construed as legal advice, and no warranties, express or implied, are made as to the contents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
