Arizona-Based Website Hit With $11 Million Judgment
KENTUCKY....
Arizona-based Dirty World Entertainment Recordings has been hit with an $11 million judgment for libel and slander after posting false accusations about Sarah Jones, a northern Kentucky teacher who sidelines as a Cincinnati Bengals cheerleader, on its gossip website, Thedirt.com. The judgment came Thursday after the site declined to answer a lawsuit brought by Jones, whose picture was posted on the site along with an accusation she had been exposed to two venereal diseases. U.S. District Judge William O. Bertelsman added an annual interest rate of 0.25 percent to the $1 million in compensatory damages and $10 million in punitive damages.
