<P>Bob,<BR>You Stated:&nbsp;</P></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;"To sustain this charge in court, you must prove: 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;1. The defendant knew that the statements were false (whereas the 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;defendant in this case could probably get off with a credible 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<P>&gt;insanity defense)"</P>
<DIV></DIV>
<P>There is no insanity defense in the State of Idaho, doesn't exist.&nbsp;</P>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>"&gt;2. The statements were believed by the public (no sign of that 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<P>&gt;here), and"</P>
<DIV></DIV>
<P>It only takes one person to believe it.&nbsp;There is no lack of stupid people on the internet.</P>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>"&gt;3. The statements resulted in some injury, damage, or loss to the 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<P>&gt;maligned party (again, no sign of that here)."</P>
<DIV></DIV>
<P>Actually, he accused someone who is in charge of children of using them for sexual purposes. If one parent withdraws&nbsp;or decides not to enlist their child under his care for fear of those charges being even slightly true, this causes him financial damage.</P>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Of course, to sue, it helps if the defendant has property or income, 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<P>&gt;and is not, as is the case at hand, a vagrant." </P>
<DIV></DIV>
<P>This doesn't matter, you can place a lean against someone on future earnings. This means that if he ever makes money in the future he can never claim it. This guarantees him poverty for most if not all his life.</P>
<DIV></DIV>
<P>You also forgot to mention that slander doesn't usually count if it is against a "public" figure, such as a celebrity or elected or appointed public official. Which his accusations are not. We can slam on Clinton, Bush, and Michael Jackson all we want.</P>
