- Anti-Slapp law plays role in backing Va. teacher and parent targeted by false online accusations
A Northern Virginia court awarded over $1 million in damages to a teacher and parent after they were targeted by false online accusations from a conservative political action committee. The case, involving Virginia’s anti-SLAPP law, addressed claims that Robert Rigby Jr. and Vanessa Hall were child predators, which were found to lack factual basis and caused reputational harm.
