Man sues 50 women for $2.6m after they called him a bad date
A California man is suing more than 50 women for $2.6m (£2.1m) after they shared negative stories about him on a Facebook group.
Women told The Times that Stewart Lucas Murrey claims their posts on an "Are We Dating The Same Guy?" page were defamatory.
The women are invoking California anti-SLAPP laws meant to deter vexatious lawsuits.
A judge ruled that one woman, Vanessa Valdez, did not do anything wrong by sharing her opinion in the group.
A statement on Mr Murrey's SickoScoop read: "Ms Valdez is someone with whom I matched briefly on a dating app... but later participated in an online group that sought to harass, dox, gang-stalk and cyberbully me.
"This behaviour should not be normalized and I am challenging every person in their various roles."
