Can I be sued for libel if I can prove what I am saying?
Asked in New Orleans, LA - 5 months
I was the victim of severe, pervasive sexual harassment at my former job. I documented many instances of this harassment using my cell phones video recording feature. Furthermore, I have pages of documents policies of my former company. Now I am coming forward on my blog, with the hidden camera videos I have shot. Everything I say on my job is true -- and provable -- and I only stick with facts, and not opinion. For example "I encountered multiple instances of harassment", instead of "The company didnt take my claims seriously" -- which is speculation and unprovable. I am not doing this out of malice, but to encourage others to take action if they feel they are harassed. Someone warned me that I could be sued ( they haven't read the blog). But sticking with facts is the safe way, no?
