SOUTH BEND, Ind. — An attorney for the Penn High School Color Guard Director is demanding REAL News Michiana remove a story written about the band coach’s pornography filled social media feed.
RNM published a story about Andrew Mroczek’s social media feeds on August 5th. Mroczek, who also happens to be a major opponent of legislation protecting children from sexualized material and discussions, had a social media feed full of nude men. Many of the photographs on his feed displayed either a naked penis or buttocks. Several other pictures displayed men in tight underwear with their genitalia clearly visible through the fabric. Several of the captions of those photographs describe graphic sexual acts as well. The social media account was deleted only hours following RNM’s story.
“Simply put, we are seeking removal of the article in question immediately.” Michael Pelagalli, a Defamation Removal Lawyer out of Ohio, wrote. “My client vehemently denies this allegation. It is false and defamatory. Specifically, the twitter account referenced in the article was never operated by Mr. Mroczek. He was not even aware that account existed until the article was published.”
According to Mr. Pelagalli, the story has restricted Mroczek’s employment with Penn High School.
The Twitter account operated by Mrozek was operating for years before the RNM story in August. Many of the posts on the account were nearly identical to other posts on his profiles in other social media platforms. And, the Twitter account was deleted very quickly after the RNM story was published.
“I am doubtful my client will agree to remove the story.” An attorney for RNM responded. “Your client’s request to remove a story is not the first request of this sort that my client has received. Many people find it off-putting to have their personal life thrust into the media, especially when their actions at home have ramifications on their employment.”
“I have reviewed the article and it seems to strongly support the fact that your client was responsible for posting the content, despite his contention that he was unaware of the account.” RNM’s attorney continued. “As you know, truth is the ultimate defense to defamation. Even though I do not yet have authority from my client, I assume I am safe to offer the same olive branch that has been offered in similar cases. If your client is willing to provide my tech expert with all of his electronic devices (computers, tablets, phones, etc) for forensic review, and such review determines that your client did not in-fact control those feeds, my client will likely agree to take down the article. However, if such an agreement is reached and my client bears the expense of doing such a review, RNM will reserve the right to publish any newsworthy information found on the devices. As you know, should suit be filed, this information will be available in discovery.”
RNM stands by everything in the story and invites a lawsuit by Mr. Mroczek. We look forward to the discovery process.
