New York Adult Entertainment: Judge: Facebook comments were "puerile," but not defamation
Some of those postings included accusations of bestiality, prostitution, doing drugs, contracting various STDs, spreading AIDS, and even changing form into the devil himself. One posting reads:
“I heard that the 11th cent [Denise Finkel] got aids when she hired a male prostitute who came dressed as a sexy fireman. apparantly .. she was lonely, because her friends no longer associated with her. her sexy fireman prostitute was her only company. in addition to acquiring aids, this nameless 11th cent aquired crabs, and syphillis.”
…
Now, however, the whole case is being dismissed. “A reasonable reader, given the overall context of the posts, simply would not believe that the Plaintiff contracted AIDS by having sex with a horse or a baboon or that she contracted AIDS from a male prostitute who also gave her crabs and syphilis, or that having contracted sexually transmitted diseases in such manner she morphed into the devil,” wrote Judge Marber. “Taken together, the statements can only be read as puerile attempts by adolescents to outdo each other.”
