Victoria Brown represented the Plaintiff, Jean Walton Leser who sued for libel per se for harm to her reputation and chastity as a woman, because of offensive remarks and pornographic images that Defen ... dant posted in her name on a blog website and on a pornographic website. The Defendant was found guilty. What made this case unique and often quoted is that it was the first time in such a case that connected the "internet dots" (from IP addresses garnered from web host subpoenas to names and addresses obtained from the internet provider, with additional supporting evidence from various names used in email address and avatars used in online chats, all linked to the Defendant, employed as a computer security analyst at New York University). The Plaintiff was awarded attorney's fees and punitive damages.
OUTCOME: Successful
Victoria M. Brown has succeeded in litigation against check cashing companies. The cases involved unscupulous contractors who took deposit checks for work never performed and then disappeared or became ... insolvent. In both instances the check cashing company had to pay for the loss because, based on the technical requirements of the law, they failed to exercise due diligence. These cases set precedent in N.J.
