According to the Hollywood Reported an anonymous woman who is going by the name, Jane Roe, is filing a lawsuit against unknown defendants for using her production company and executive contacts to make inappropriate and sexual conversations through e-mail and phone calls. Jane Roe, the plaintiff for this civil case, is choosing to make this lawsuit private after feeling humiliated by these incidents.
Under California law, the judge may ask the woman to disclose her name in order to follow through with the trial. These unknown defendants, on the other hand, used GoDaddy domains and ProofPoint’s email security services to fool the executive and other important contacts Jane Roe had with the emails. When it came to the phone calls, Jane Roe affirms that a female tried imitating her voice making it believable to
the important contacts that they were talking to an older lady. During these calls, the defendants were searching for business relationships and private contact information of other entertainment industry people by being flirty with the receivers and engaging in sexual conversations. Another set of calls were then made by a male who established himself as being associated with Jane Roe and setting up appointments for her.
The Washington Post recently reported a similar situation where a person claiming to have dirt on Roy Moore, alleged pedophile and candidate for the senate in Alabama, tried to dupe reporters into believing her stories.
According to California law, it is a criminal offense to impersonate someone without consent and knowingly though the Internet or other digital means in order to “harm, intimidate, threaten, or defraud another person”. It has not been confirmed yet whether this criminal claim will become part of the civil case. Furthermore, the plaintiff is also stating cybersquatting, which is registering names as Internet domains to sell for a profit, was used for defaming her name in the emails. Jane Roe is planning for injunctive relief which is refraining someone to do a certain act as well as compensatory damages for imposing emotional distress.
