Hey all,
I'm needing some help or if anyone knows some legal things please. I have been posting my opinion on another public group & I have unintentionally really pissed off a person in this group who is the father mentioned on the group.
There is lots of speculation and controversy surrounding the father and possible suspicions against him & I wasn't the only member who asked him questions & stayed calm and never personally attacked him but obviously he's taken the whole group as slander / defamation. And because I asked the most questions he has personally targeted me and gone back to a group he runs supporting himself with 13,000 followers etc and media attention on him.
He has stated my full name and the town I am from and stated that I am apart of a group sharing child pornography and slandering his name on this group and sharing the material. This is all untrue and I could prove there are zero pornography and no way would I be apart of or share child pornography. This is done to obviously destroy my reputation as my family & friends and work colleagues have all seen this post on Facebook.
Is there anything I could to have this removed without paying for a private solicitor, which I know I won't win the case as we've both perhaps slandered / defamed each other. I have removed all of my comments and publicly apologised to the man for any damage I may have caused to his character etc and I asked for him to do the same. His response has been basically a nasty comment and he will see him in court. Facebook won't remove his post despite it breaching their own community standards.
The police have taken my report but can't ask him to remove it as it's a civil matter. Legal aid won't assist me as it's defamation so have to get a private lawyer to get him to remove this false allegation when I have no money as a single mother who's working and just getting by from pay to pay & he has deep pockets & legal connections.
I've obviously learnt my lesson surrounding sharing an opinion on social media now and deeply regret what I've done but hindsight is a beautiful thing. Is there anything else I can try to get this removed off his Facebook page?
