William Moreno said the campaign of Internet trolling he and his family endured was as vicious as it was unrelenting. A SWAT team was sent to their Virginia home, false charges were filed against him and he was accused online of molesting a girl.
The “reign of terror,” as he described it, was so bad that Moreno said he eventually tried to take his own life. Now, he and his family have finally turned the tables on one of the men they accused of tormenting them, winning a $1.4 million civil judgment in court.
The ruling by a Loudoun County jury late last month is one of the largest in an Internet trolling case in the nation’s history. The family doubts it will ever collect the full sum but hopes the verdict is a warning to cyberbullies everywhere.
“It’s important to realize that cyberbullying can lead to this horrible stuff that spills into the real world,” said Sharon Moreno, William’s mother. “It’s especially difficult for vulnerable people.”
In a six-day trial, the jury found Michael Josef Basl, of Henrico County, Va., liable for stalking, defamation and intentionally inflicting emotional distress on the family during a period covering 2013 and 2014.

Jesus what a mess. Mr. Basl is completely broke and google-fucked while Morenos and their lawyer are up shits creek. The Moreno's should have gotten a professional to handle things off-book and they never would have been bothered again. Just a phone call to friends in Jersey and 10k will fix most problems permanently.
