Sexsearch Files Appellee Brief

On the heels of its overwhelming victory in U.S. District Court last August, SexSearch.com has fired off its latest salvo against John Doe’s continuing attack on Internet Service Provider immunity under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.  In an Appellate brief filed today in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, SexSearch emphatically urges the Court to deny John Doe’s appeal and affirm Ohio District Court Judge Jack Zouhary’s dismissal of John Doe’s meritless lawsuit.  In its brief, SexSearch comes out firing, arguing that “despite taking a “double-barreled shotgun approach” to drafting his complaint, John Doe failed to hit a single, solitary claim upon which relief could be granted.  Once again, he has loaded both barrels and taken aim at sound case law and unambiguous statutory authority . . . [however] his aim remains woefully off the mark.”

SexSearch Lead Counsel Gary Jay Kaufman of The Kaufman Law Group is confident that the Sixth Circuit will affirm the District Court’s decision.  “I believe that the Sixth Circuit will see this case for what it is: a last desperate attempt to save what was really just an elaborate shakedown.  Litigation is all about credibility; how do you take the position that you should be compensated for having sex with a fourteen year-old girl without losing it completely?”  

The Sixth Circuit is not expected to rule on the case until later this year.
