Montana judge orders The Daily Stormer's publisher to pay $14M
HELENA, Mont. — A judge on Thursday ordered the publisher of a neo-Nazi website to pay a Jewish real estate agent $14 million for inciting his readers to harass her family with hundreds of threatening and anti-Semitic messages and calls.
He ordered Anglin to pay Gersh over $4 million in compensatory damages, $10 million in punitive damages and told him to permanently remove all posts, comments and images about Gersh, her husband and son. It's the second multimillion-dollar award against Anglin in recent months. A federal judge in Ohio awarded radio host Dean Obeidallah, a Muslim, $4.1 million in June after Anglin falsely accused him of terrorism.Gersh said in an emailed statement that what Anglin did broke a part of her, but she is stronger thanks to the support of her family, neighbors and the worldwide Jewish community.
Anglin's lawyers argued unsuccessfully that his writings were protected by the First Amendment. They dropped him as a client when he failed to appear for his deposition in April.
