On the matter of those defamatory allegations being made on anonymised social media accounts: the authors better hope they covered their tracks.
It is relatively easy to track down a post using IP numbers and other details. Those IP numbers can be obtained from the social media platforms if they so choose to co-operate.
After that, it becomes a simple defamation case. Using anonymity won’t help the trolls, either. There was a case in Australia (if memory serves me well) some years back, where an anonymous troll was tracked down; sued for defamation; and the Court find in the victim’s favour.
If I were any of those trolls responsible for the defamatory slurs against Clarke Gayford, I’d be starting to get nervous about now.
