I find this interesting because I dealt with something similar a few weeks ago. There is a Peeping Tom in our neighborhood in MICHIGAN. He was arrested and held on bond, but released when the witness did not show up in court. I was able to obtain his rap sheet with his picture on it.

I wanted to circulate this flyer on Facebook so other women in the area would know what he looks like. I also wanted to post these flyers on telephone poles and in local stores. I was concerned if I could legally do this, so I called my friend who is a lawyer. She told me I could post almost anything to the internet as long as the information is true. She said people can get sued if the information they are revealing is not factual because that is slander.
