An Australian woman has been ordered to pay nearly $280,000 after she falsely branded her neighbor’s pedophiles in a post to a local Facebook group.

A Queensland woman has been ordered to pay nearly $187,111 after she falsely branded her neighbor’s pedophiles in a post to a local Facebook group.

The parties had been neighbors in the tight-knit coastal suburb of Bushland Beach in Townsville’s north and had attended barbecues and other social gatherings in their quiet cul-de-sac, where about 50 residents all knew each other. Members expressed incredulity, with one writing, “You put a post up about a pedophile and there [sic] apparent address. Gonna need a bit more explaining than ‘we got hacked’.”

The couple told the court how their “life changed following the defamatory post”, making them fearful of leaving home or socializing with neighbors.“He closed all the curtains and would not go outside to mow the grass. He told me repeatedly that he felt ashamed and embarrassed. He became progressively more withdrawn from communicating with me, his friends and neighbors. Our social life in Holbourne Street stopped dead.

“I have been interviewed by the police in respect to the incident and they have advised me that Zoe Gooding has been charged with various offenses,” Mr. Usher said in his affidavit. “I am awaiting further details of those charges.”
