Chat room insults libel victory

Now this is 4poolesque

 

A WOMAN who posted false sexual allegations against a UKIP parliamentary candidate on the internet has become the first person in a British chat room to be successfully sued for libel.

 

Tracy Williams was ordered yesterday to pay £10,000 damages to Michael Keith Smith and issued with a High Court restraining order banning her from abusing him further on any website.

 

Mr Keith Smith, 53, who fought the Portsmouth North seat last year, was falsely accused of being a sex offender and ?racist bigot? in an internet chatroom. He sued Williams, claiming that she had used an alias to make serious and false accusations against him on a group discussion website in April 2004.
