This verges on stalking but i wouldn't want to slander libel or defame anyone
*************************************************************************************
Definition of libel 10: A publication without justification or lawful excuse, which is calculated to injure the reputation of another by exposing him to hatred, contempt or ridicule.
For example, if you were to write and publish an article accusing someone without a criminal record or any other proof of being a "disgusting pedophile" this statement would be very libelous. The person's reputation would be damaged and you would be open for a libel suit. If, however, you reported that you observed someone with a past criminal record of inappropriate behavior towards children, in a public place engaging children with candy and games and wondered if this was legal, then this would be a much safer statement.
