Dear Mr. Sloan,

As a service provider, we can neither evaluate, arbitrate nor provide
advice
relating to potential legal disputes.

The complaint that we received came from an Investigator C. P. Smith
at the
Amherst County Sherriff's Office in Amherst, Virginia. We recommend
that
you contact him regarding any questions that you have.

If we receive a communication from Investigator Smith indicating that
the
page you reference below is not, in fact, in violation of any law, we
would
be happy to re-place it on the website. However, absent that
communication,
the pages in question below will be removed from your site at 2:30pm
MST
today unless the SSN and dates of birth are removed.

Thank you,

Verio Legal

Shelby Roberts is dead. She died several years ago.

It is certainly not illegal to post the birth and death dates and the
social security number of a deceased person. The Social Security
Death
Index published by the US Government, provides all that information.

If you go to http://ssdi.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi

You will see the following information:

ROBERTS, SHELBY H
230-54-1665
Birth: 04 Nov 1938
Death: 21 Apr 2006

This information is provided by the US Government. Why don't you
contact
them and tell them that they are violating Virginia law?

Amherst County Sheriff shuts down Sam Sloan's websites

Today, April 3, 2008, the Sheriff of Amherst County Virginia finally
succeeded in shutting down Sam Sloan's websites. The following
websites were closed down on orders of Deputy C. R. Smith of the
Amherst County Sheriff's Department:

http://www.samsloan.com

http://www.shamema.com

http://www.ishipress.com

As you will see, those websites are now closed. Prior to today, those
websites combined attracted more than 100,000 hits and more than
20,000 viewers per day.

Also closed down today are Sam Sloan's email addresses of
and .

The Amherst Country Sheriff's Department was able to accomplish by
complaining to the ISPs that Sam Sloan was harassing the Sheriff by
complaining that his daughter, Shamema Honzagool Sloan, then aged 8,
had been kidnapped from Fujairah, United Arab Emirates and brought to
Amherst County Virginia with the connivance of the Amherst County
Sheriff and that the Amherst County Sheriff was a conspirator in the
kidnapping of his daughter.

In addition, Sloan accused the Sheriff of Amherst County of harboring
a fugitive by allowing the kidnapper to stay in Amherst County and not
arresting him for the crime of kidnapping of which he is obviously
guilty.

These statements had been on Sloan's website continuously since 1996
when indeed these web sites were established for the primary of
publicizing the kidnapping of Sloan's eight-year-old daughter. The
Amherst County Sheriff was also irked by a "Wanted Poster" originating
from the United Arab Emirates with a photograph of one of the
kidnappers, who is wanted and has been convicted in absentia of
kidnapping Sloan's 8-year-old daughter.

Absolutely hilarious!

Might it be a delayed April 1st joke?

Now wait for the idiot to sue the ISP.

The notice actually was dated April 1, 2008.

Does this mean that I am entitled to treat this as an April Fools
Joke?

I can do more than merely sue the ISP. I can sue the Sheriff of
Amherst County Virginia for covering up the kidnapping of my 8-year-
old daughter, which is what this is all about. They have a new Sheriff
in Amherst County. The new sheriff probably does not realize that the
old sheriff really was guilty of kidnapping my daughter.

Rob Mitchell states above that the Sheriff of Amherst County Virginia
had my websites shut down because of "blatantly false claims aimed at
causing personal damage". This is not true. The Sheriff had my
websites shut down by complaining to my ISPs that my website contained
personally identifiable information about the Sheriff of Amherst
County in that it stated that the Sheriff of Amherst County was guilty
of involvement in the kidnapping of my 8-year-old daughter.

The Sheriff of Amherst County said that my website violated Section
18.2-186.4 of the Code of Virginia.

Take a look at what that section actually says:

http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp...cod+18.2-186.4

"It shall be unlawful for any person, with the intent to coerce,
intimidate, or harass another person, to publish the person's name or
photograph along with identifying information as defined in clauses
(iii) through (ix), or clause (xii) of subsection C of § 18.2-186.3,
including identification of the person's primary residence address.
Any person who violates this section is guilty of a Class 1
misdemeanor.

"Any person who violates this section knowing or having reason to know
that person is a law-enforcement officer, as defined in § 9.1-101, is
guilty of a Class 6 felony. The sentence shall include a mandatory
minimum term of confinement of six months."

This provision of law clearly states that any reporter of the New York
Times or the newspaper itself could be sentenced to six months in
prison for publishing any identifying information about any law
enforcement officer in Virginia.

I think the New York Times should come to my defense in this case.

That is correct. Rob Mitchell did not post what you claim he did. Here
is what he posted:

"Yes! There is a GOD! Now if he could just ban you from posting here
and in Yahoo!"

Yes, but that's not "above" in this thread. That's published
elsewhere.
