Unfortunately, I don’t think these kids will see justice. The defense will litigate this case to death. Something else needs to happen to scare these creepy media f***s.
At the very least, the defendants are being forced to spend millions.
First hurdle is going to be getting valid service of process on these individual Defendants. Then there’s a huge venue question about filing the suit in Kenton County, Kentucky since the behavior giving rise to the claims did not occur in Kentucky and none of the Defendants reside here.
The case is best handled in Federal Court based on diversity of citizenship but we’ve already seen that the US District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky is grossly prejudiced against these Plaintiffs. It’s unlikely the claims would receive more favorable treatment in the DC district. So filing in state court becomes the only viable option by default.
