Appeals Court: Criminal Defamation Law Is Unconstitutional
The Minnesota Appeals Court says a state law that makes it illegal to defame someone is unconstitutional because it's too broad. Tuesday's ruling comes in the case of a man who was convicted of criminal defamation. Timoth Turner admitted posting sexually explicit Internet ads in 2013 that appeared to be from his ex-girlfriend and her underage daughter. The postings led multiple men to contact both females for sex.
