Defamation
is one of those types of unprotected speech. Defamation is the publication of
statement of an alleged fact that is un true and is harmful to the reputation
of another person. Defamation is a catch all term for any statement that hurts
someone's reputation. Written defamation is called libel and spoken defamation
is called a slander. Defamation is not a crime, but it is a tort, a civil
wrong, rather than a criminal wrong. A person who has been defamed can sue the
person who did the defaming.
