More on Flandersgate: Judge backs MassResistance right to post letter from sex offender


Flandersgate update
At what point will Adam Flanders realize that the more he sues, the more he'll be in the news?  
If Flanders wants to keep his 2007 letter on the down low, slapping pro-family organizations and threatening news agencies with time-consuming and expensive lawsuits might not be the most effective method.
A convicted sex abuser who has filed a one million dollar suit against the pro-family group Mass Resistance suffered a setback last week when his motion for a preliminary injunction to silence the group was rejected by the presiding judge. 
“Maine may not punish, through criminal sanction, an individual’s actions that are protected by the free speech clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution,” wrote District Judge Patricia G. Worth in her decision, signed on July 11. 
Meanwhile, a police chief that Adam E. Flanders has repeatedly claimed supported his lawsuit and described his sex abuse charge as akin to “stealing a candy bar” has disputed Flanders’ account of events in a LifeSiteNews (LSN) interview. LSN has also learned that in addition to the sex abuse charge, Flanders has been convicted of assaulting a minor with whom he had a sexual relationship, as well as the boy’s father, with a knife.
