We’ll admit it: we were over-awed and very moved by your flood of responses to yesterday’s post in which we discussed the self-outing of the author of the Dearman Does Hampstead blog.
It brought home to us—yet again—the strength and determination of this community, and your dedication to doing the right thing and seeing justice done.
In yesterday’s post we mooted the idea of an international lawsuit, targetting the patent illegality of the DDH blog. The blog was formed with the express goal of defaming RD. Every post on DDH is in direct violation of the court order issued in February 2015, and yet the blog’s author, Kristie Sue Costa, has been allowed free rein to harass and defame her innocent target.
We brought a lawsuit up as a possibility that we’d been researching, and you threw yourselves behind it wholeheartedly.
How difficult is international litigation?
We had noted that UK to US lawsuits can be tricky to set in motion, but Ghost of Sam offered some reassurance, noting that in fact, defamation is less complex to pursue in the U.S. courts than here:In addition, he said that U.S. lawyers have a number of tools at their disposal, such as the use of liens to keep defendants from disposing of assets prior to judgement, and demanding that defendants guarantee court costs should they lose, if it appears they might try to frustrate the court process. Useful information, indeed!
Sarah Phillimore pointed out that this case, like a growing number of internet-based defamation and harassment cases, could point to the need for a complete rearrangement of our current court jurisdiction arrangements:
Building a fighting fund
The idea of crowdfunding a ‘fighting fund’ was raised, and many of you threw yourselves behind it with enthusiasm:
Looking out for the children
One important theme you raised was ensuring that RD’s children, who continue to be victimised by people like Kristie Sue Costa, should have their interests represented, and their futures secured. We fully agree, and would like to add that the other Hampstead children whose personal details have been spread across the internet have also faced many repercussions because of the Hoaxtead mob, and will likely continue to find themselves garnering unwanted attention as they grow older.
Where do we go from here?
It’s clear that there is an interest in pursuing legal remedies for the damage Kristie Sue has inflicted upon RD, his children, and the entire community of Hampstead.
You’ve given our team a great many ideas to think about, and we don’t want to take your suggestions, or your personal support, lightly. With that in mind, we’ll be holding some important discussions over the next few weeks, to determine the best course of action.
One thing is clear: no one is content to just let this lie. And for that, we thank you all.
Dear Mr El, Frances supports this lawsuit 100%. If there is any way you require a 7-foot tall lizard with exquisite taste in home furnishings, to help out, you know where Frances lives.

Although Mr Alchin’s behaviour is pretty unpleasant, it is no where near as vindictive or prolonged as that of the Hampstead Hoaxers. The man from Sydney has (not to mince words) been acting like a complete dick – but has been doing so to a random stranger who is an adult. The Hoaxers have repeatedly named and published photographs of a number of individuals, some of them vulnerable children, in breach of a very specific court order. For over a year we have given them warnings to stop; they haven’t. The law needs to come down on them now like a ton of bricks.

So this is actually a conspiracy by US citizens to breach the :

$50,000 fine per day (& the 3 year possible jail sentence). The average price of a US house ? $300-400K?. Wiped out within 10 days at most with this illegal harassment.
Add the interest that the US /UK media would take in such a sensational matter which has been settled in the UK High Court. Would the UK CPS consider applying for an extradition of those who would breach UK law? Nor would US prosecutors wish to really mock British law.
Add in the fact US prosecutors & DAs are elected in a similar manner to politicians and routinely seek sensational cases to prove their credentials that they are tough on crime.
Add in the fact that laws rarely used are very attractive to prosecutors / police to test the system and just because a new entity like the Internet has allowed the law to be breached 1000s of times is an incentive to authorities to be seen to crack down with a test case.

Another legal avenue in the UK: private prosecution.
So many UK citizens have now committed a crime by exposing the child victim’s images and they have illegally harassed innocent people.
Under a Private Prosecution the state is obliged to takeover the case if is clear laws have been broken and a conviction is likely. There is no limit to the defendants who can be prosecuted under one case. This would in fact aid the police who I am sure are overwhelmed with the amount of online harassment.
A defamation action can proceed at the same time and again, numerous defendants can be attached to a lawsuit. When a newspaper is sued for defamation the plaintiff can sue everyone involved in distribution from the author, publisher, van driver who delivers the papers and the newsagent who sells. They only don’t because large publishers indemnify the other in the chain and take full responsibility.

I think Angie thinks she’s a journalist by seeking out every case in the newspapers about child abuse and then posting it on her timeline. It shows a disturbing obsession with pedophilia. Those who congratulate her for doing this as though she’s some sort of activist by doing so are equally scary. It’s like they relish every new post of Angie’s hoping there will be another story about child abuse they can read.
And she admits living with a pedophile in the USA and becoming pregnant by him- I’ve never believed the claim people cannot tell who is a pedophile especially if they are living with them. Did she have an abortion ? Because the Christian claiming Angie would have committed a Mortal Sin if she did. Or did she have the child and decide to tell the entire world that child’s dad was a pedo?. Disturbing, very disturbing.

But when a court makes a finding that a man is innocent and the real abusers were a mother and her career criminal boyfriend they just can’t handle it.
Sigmund (not Clement) Freud may have much to say about these people : do we get a clue from Rupert Q when he says he would like to rape a child just to “see what it is like”?.
Are these Hoaxers so fixated on the murder & eating of babies because deep down they may want to taste baby flesh?
Does APD have a secret desire to dance around the living room of her Lanazorte villa far from the prying eyes of the Upstanding Citizens of her Irish village, in just a hula skirt made of baby skulls while a gathering of The Cult including Jim & Helen McMenamin, Neelu, Sonja Vangelder, Kane Slater, Tina Kachina and Araya Soma chant “more, more more” as Rupert Quaintance in a drugged haze tries to picture Angie as a 4 year old?

Perhaps only good for getting pages and blogs taken down. There is already a court order. If anyone is any doubt why that would be, it is because the children made allegations of sexual offences and had their most intimate details published. We are talking rape exams here. In most countries children would be afforded anonymity, and for very good reasons.
I notice some of the people who are vocal about allegations that have been made involving VIPs abusing children don’t care when they tweet these children’s private information. Though they will screech that others who have made allegations should remain anonymous.
My guess, many people who’ve had frankly ludicrous allegations that they pop off from work to visit a school to eat babies and rape the pupils, and do it in non existent secret rooms, with no one noticing, don’t fancy long drawn out court cases for unenforceable results.
