‘Following news today that the
slanderous SA Male Prostitute website has been shut down under the
pretext that some form of legal deal has been made between my lawyers
and the anonymous blogger, I wish to confirm the following,’ says Mr
Simon Grindrod.
·
My lawyers have entered into no form of
agreement with the anonymous blogger;
·
I will not withdraw my criminal case of
Crimen Injuria against the offender;
·
Once SAPS have apprehended this
individual, I will urgently institute a civil action for defamation and
damages in the High Court;
·
I will not stop until my good name and
reputation are restored and this individual faces the legal
consequences of his lies and slander;
·
I wish to thank the blogging community
for their messages of support and assistance in tracking the individual
responsible for this fabricated website;
·
I am determined that this individual
should be challenged once and for all, to prevent him creating further
hurt and distress to others in the future.
‘As in most cases, the irresponsible
actions of one individual should never be allowed to negatively impact
on the image and perceptions of a particular community as a whole,’
Grindrod says.
