The complaint alleges defendant Connie Hood posted defamatory statements about Adam Lynd at: www.ripoffreport.com/r/david-lynd-/san-antonio-texas/david-lynd-lynd-company-world-lynd-scam-artist-big-hat-and-no-cattle-san-antonio-1151560 and www.expressnews.com/business/local.article.lynd-co-brothers-split-5319366.php.
The allegedly defamatory statements on www.ripoffreport.com were posted on June 2, 2014, September 16, 2014, and September 10, 2015. Two of the three statements exceed the one-year statute of limitations pursuant to A.R.S. 12-541. Respondent Kelly knew that some of the claims were barred by the statute of limitations or failed to investigate the matter prior to filing the complaint.
The original statement, posted June 2, 2014, is identified in the post as being written by an individiaul named John Doran, not Connie Hood as alleged by the complaint.
The statement entitled “Ex employee,” posted Septermber 16, 2014, by Respondent Kelly’s client Adam Lynd, specifically identifies the author of the original statement as John Duran, not Connie Hood as alleged in the complaint.
