I would've loved to have sued Assistant United States Attorney Sean Hoar for defamation but he is immune from suit due to his job as a federal prosecutor. The government is really good at making the real criminals look like victims simply by not enforcing the same laws on them which they're enforcing on others on their behalf. They pushed this "vulnerable victim fights back" narrative which only worked because they never charged her with anything. The federal prosecutor in my case sounded like her attorney, by that I mean it seemed he would regurgitate whatever nonsense she threw down his throat without verification. Often they won't even acknowledge wrongdoing by their so called "victim" and choose instead to whitewash the person as if they'd done no wrong. In those cases they often exercise their discretion and choose not to charge the first person they treat as a victim. People who don't live criminal lifestyles but are doing something perfectly legal which pisses a lot of people off. What should have been a simple case of the cops telling her she wasn't a victim because no crime had been committed and to stop bothering them resulted in a response more to the tune of "we wish there were laws against what he is doing, so if you catch him violating any laws at all let us know." The problem with that reaction is it often leads to selective prosecutions of people like me. The stalker presented herself to them as a self described "victim's rights activist" trying to build a case when none existed. Over a decade ago, I was targeted by a deranged stalker who received help from law enforcement. This author can relate to Winters in this case. This author has considered filing defamation claims on such grounds in the past and was advised by counsel that it wouldn't be worth my time. Arguing that you were defamed when the nature of the allegedly defamatory allegations mirror allegations lodged in court proceedings often can be problematic because it leaves the door open for the allegedly defamed to maintain a claim just because the part about being convicted was false. However, Winters might be in a bit of a bind if he engaged in the conduct or it appears as though he likely engaged in it even though he was not convicted. People have been kicked off this site for that. Generally, it is considered defamatory to falsely state that someone has been convicted of a crime when they've only been accused of crimes. Counsel representing Winters, Wing, and the city of Newton allege that Galanakis falsely accused Winters of being convicted of a crime. Those same reports say that Winters has never been charged with a crime as a result of the alleged abuse. Officer Winters has been accused of domestic abuse by his ex-girlfriend and was subject to a restraining order according to media reports. The social media campaign is the basis for the defamation lawsuit. He then took to social media to fire back against the officers that kidnapped him. Despite not having to take a drug test, Galanakis consented to one after being taken to jail, passed the test, and was released without charges. While it is true that most states have laws requiring people to consent to breathalyzer and field sobriety tests in order to have a driver's license, the same is not true of urine and blood tests for drugs. The arrest appears to be motivated primarily by Galanakis choosing to exercise his Fifth Amendment right to refuse a drug test. Tayvin Galanakis was pulled over last year and wrongfully arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence despite passing a breathalyzer test. Newton Police officer Nathan Winters is suing someone he and fellow officer Christopher Wing wrongfully arrested for defamation.
