Re: FYI
Dear Lawyer,
I was named on The Shitty Medi= Men document. You've probably heard of it. I was underlined in red fo= violent sexual assault or rape. There was a notes box in my row stating &=uot;multiple rape accusations." I can send you a copy of the list if =ou haven't seen it already.
AI= of the accusation in the Shitty Media Men document are anonymous so the o=ner of the list, Moira Donegan, doesn't even necessarily know who made=the accusations.
But she created the list, and published it. She's=the one who outlined me in red, I think (one of 16 entries out of 74) and =he's the one who made the note that there were "multiple" ra=e accusations. So in some way she at least edited the entry.
I'm r=asonably certain the accusation of rape against me is malicious. And I don=#39;t believe there is anyone out there who believes I actually raped them= For starters, I don't like sex. I'm kinky and engage in BDSM but =nly as a submissive crossdresser. I don't enjoy penetrating women. I a=so have never had sex with anyone who works in or is connected to media, i= other words, anyone who would have had access to that list in the 12 hour= it was live online. I've written publicly about my sexuality so I'=m not worried about that aspect of my life becoming public. I dated a woma= for 2 years once without ever seeing her naked.
The consequences of b=ing on the list have been profound and I would love to talk to you about i=. I can definitely document very real consequences to being named as = rapist on a publicly available list.
I'm interested in discu=sing whether or not I should bring suit. I'm concerned in particular b=cause of the one year statute of limitation on defamation suits. So I woul= have to file fairly soon.
=div style="font-size:12.8px">I would sue Moira Donegan and Jane Doe, I t=ink, trying to find out the names of whoever originally put me on the list= Maybe through a subpoena to Google as the original spreadsheet was a Goog=e Doc.
At the same time I don't have financial means. So I underst=nd it might not be possible for you to take on this case. I don't know=if Moira has any money currently to sue for but I know she was shopping ar=und a book about the list. If she sold it there hasn't been an announc=ment. A friend in publishing told me he thinks the book sold for a fair am=unt but they're intentionally not announcing. I don't know if that=439;s true.
Would you be open to discussing with me?
Thank you!<=div>

Dear Michael,
The writer Stephen Elliott<=a> got in touch yesterday. He was on the Shitty Media Men List and is look=ng for legal representation. He's not at all dumb or crazy. His pitch =etter is below. I'd be grateful if you had any ideas I could pass alon=. (He is correct that Donegan has sold a book proposal.) https://en.wikiredia.org/wiki/Stephen_Elliottiauthor)
If you're moved to ask around, I'd ask that you please leav= my name out of it.
I hope this finds you very we=l -

Give it some further thought, if you would. I think there =s an opening here. What you need is an excuse--or opportunity--to make the=public argument.
