Dear M=chael,
The writer Stephen Elliott chttps://en.wikipedia.org/w=ki, (author)> got in
=ouch yesterday. He was on the Shiny Media Men List and is looking for leg=l representation. He's not at all dumb or
crazy. His pitch letter is b=low. I'd be grateful if you had any ideas I could pass along. (He is c=rrect that Donegan has sold
a book proposal.)

If =ou're moved to ask around, I'd ask that you please leave my name o=t of it.
I hope this finds you very well - <=div>

Here's Elliott's pitch:
Dear Lawyer,
I was named on The Shitty Media Men =ocument. You've probably heard of it. I was underlined
in red for viol=nt sexual assault or rape. There was a notes box in my row stating "m=ltiple rape accusations." I can send
you a copy of the list if you ha=en't seen it already.
All of the accusation in the Shitty Media Men document are an=nymous so the owner of the list,
Moira Donegan, doesn't even necessari=y know who made the accusations.
=/div>
But she created the list, and publish=d it. She's the one who outlined me in red, I think (one of
16 entries=out of 74) and she's the one who made the note that there were "m=ltiple" rape accusations. So in some way
she at least edited the entr=.
I'm reasonably certain the accusation of rape against me is mali=ious. And I don't believe there
is anyone out there who believes I act=ally raped them. For starters, I don't like sex. I'm kinky and eng=ge in BDSM but
only as a submissive crossdresser. I don't enjoy penetr=ting women. I also have never had sex with anyone who works in
or is conne=ted to media, in other words, anyone who would have had access to that lis= in the 12 hours it was live
online. I've written publicly about my se=uality so I'm not worried about that aspect of my life becoming public= I dated
a woman for 2 years once without ever seeing her naked.
The c=nsequences of being on the list have been profound and I would love to tal= to you about
it. I can definitely document very real consequences to bein= named as a rapist on a publicly available list.
I'm int=rested in discussing whether or not I should bring suit. I'm concerned=in particular
because of the one year statute of limitation on defamation =uits. So I would have to file fairly soon.
I would sue Moira Donegan a=d Jane Doe, I think, trying to find out the names of whoever
originally pu= me on the list. Maybe through a subpoena to Google as the original spread=heet was a Google Doc.
At the same time I don't have financial mea=s. So I understand it might not be possible for you
to take on this case. = don't know if Moira has any money currently to sue for but I know she=was shopping around a
book about the list. If she sold it there hasn't=been an announcement. A friend in publishing told me he thinks the book
so=d for a fair amount but they're intentionally not announcing. I don L=3 know if that's true.
Would you be open to discussing with me?<hiv>
Thank you!
