Legal action over YouTube 'whore' video

Can anyone find this whores utube vid


A COLUMBIA University business school graduate wants a New York judge to unmask the cowardly creep who anonymously labeled her a "whore" on YouTube.

In a Manhattan Supreme Court suit, Carla Franklin said she "suffered damages in the form of distress and mental anguish" from the mean-spirited posting and wants a judge to give her a court order to force Google and YouTube to turn over the poster’s identity, reported the New York Post.

The single-word slurs "were made with the intention to harm Franklin’s reputation and interfere with her relationships, employment and livelihood," the filing said, and she wants to make the anonymous poster pay for her "personal humiliation, mental anguish and damage to her reputation."

"It’s made her very upset," Franklin’s lawyer David Fish said. "People feel bolder and bolder that they can say whatever they want when they post things with anonymity, but there can be consequences. If you’re going to post something about somebody, you need to stand by it. It’s cowardly insulting people without justification."

Fish said his client has a "fairly good idea who was doing this," but "we want to make 100 percent sure before we file suit."

Google and YouTube do not comment on specific legal cases but typically will turn over internet protocol addresses and other identifying information if there is a court order.
