Korey Jerome Kruse of Eudora, Kansas, United States was found guilty
by the Kansas Supreme Court of publishing defamation.

Case No. 2008 KSBS 827
Docket No. S432823 (Eudora Registry)

In this precedent-setting case, the Honorable Mr. Justice Thomson
wrote in his Reasons For Judgment that Kruse's ".. defamatory
statements were numerous and monstrous, outrageous and so extreme that
it is difficult to find case precedents that come anywhere close."

The Honorable Mr. Justice Thomson also wrote of Korey Jerome Kruse: "I
have found that the defendant was, in many instances, indifferent to
the truth of the statements he was making. That is malice and that is
an aggravating factor. ...."

Paragraph [1809] of the judge's summary also states of Korey Jerome
Kruse:

"In addition to being reckless with the truth, there is much evidence
in this case which indicates malice on the part of the defendant. ..."

As a result, the judge awarded damages totaling $179,644.50 against
Korey Jerome Kruse.

The Honourable Court also granted a sweeping injunction against Korey
Jerome Kruse posting more of his lies and defamation, stating "... a
permanent injunction is not only justified but required in this case."

The terms of the permanent injunction state that ".... the defendant,
by himself, his agents, servants or otherwise be restrained from
publishing, or causing to be published, on the internet or by any
other method or medium, any defamatory statement referring in any way
to the plaintiff, whether by name, pseudonym, address, photograph or
other means of identity. The order will prohibit the defendant from
publishing or causing to be published any such statement in his own
name, in the name of any nick names, pseudonyms, or aliases that he
now uses, has used, or may use in the future. The defendant is further
prohibited from publishing or causing to be published any such
statement about the plaintiff, anonymously, or in the name of another
person."

Korey Jerome Kruse was also placed under an Order "... requiring the
defendant to make all reasonable efforts to remove from the internet,
the entirety of any and all of the internet postings that he has
published or caused to be published, and which refer to ..." the
Plaintiff.

Kruse was ordered to do so within 60 days of July 15, 2008.

As of today's date (January 15, 2009) Korey Jerome Kruse has failed to
comply with this Order.

Just as well it only applies to Kansas

Korey Jerome Kruse was also placed under an Order "... requiring the
defendant to make all reasonable efforts to remove from the internet,
the entirety of any and all of the internet postings that he has
published or caused to be published, and which refer to ..." the
Plaintiff.

Now there is some one who does not understand the Internet. Once it is
out there it is almost impossible to remove from all the archives.
Besides the Kansas ruling has no effect on any of the Internet or people
outside Kansas.

So as long as Kruse does not go to Kansas there is nothing AFAICS the
court can do.

Kruse was ordered to do so within 60 days of July 15, 2008.
As of today's date (January 15, 2009) Korey Jerome Kruse has failed to
comply with this Order.

What has the court done about it?
