Attorney Addresses #MeToo and Defamation Law

SAN FRANCISCO, July 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Let's face it, the #MeToo movement—that is, accusing someone of a sexual crime on social media—has transformed into what may reasonably be considered as a moral decline of society.

This pervasive cultural movement is often abused, while 'internet-justice' is rendered immediately with a lack of interest towards the truthfulness or veracity of those allegations. More disturbing, however, is the trend of anonymizing someone else's purported accusation and disseminating it through social media platforms with the sole purpose to harass and shame the alleged wrong-doer.

Defamation Attorney Rohit Chhabra reminds the public that there are serious consequences of fabricating allegations of sexual crimes. "Defamation generally occurs when a false statement about another is published and the publication causes harm. However, in situations involving a false accusation of a sexual crime, the accusation by and in itself is legally considered to have caused harm. Thus, the writer/poster subjects themselves to defamation of character proceedings by the act of spreading false accusations," Chhabra continues.

If you have been falsely accused of a sexual crime on social-media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.), you are invited to contact Rohit Chhabra to protect your rights and dignity.
