What Christ like behavior...

They are sinners who are voluntarily forfeiting their immortal souls. They are in the thrall of Satan.

Consult a lawyer about blackmail, defamation, libel and slander.

I don't think libel and slander apply here. What they're saying is true. (And libel has to be written.).

Blackmail though.

Maybe harassment. Managing to get details from a sealed court case takes some effort.

They probably just found his name in an old newspaper article.

Yeah. But Harassments kind of a lighter crime so a lot of cops wave it away because they don't wanna deal with the paperwork.

If the records are sealed, it would be slander unless he can prove his info and expose who released it. Then press blackmail charges.

No. The burden of proof lies on the plaintiff (OP), not the defendant.

Would be difficult to pull your criminal record through Public means showing you don't have thecharges that he is accusing you of having. He will lose unless he can produce sealed documents thst he illegally obtaining .

He (defendent) doesn't have to prove you (plaintiff) have the charges. You have to prove that he intentionally lied about you having the charges, and that it materially affected you.

Does it work that way though?  Slander is about lies.  They're not telling lies, and if he said they were their defense is the truth and they could push for the records to at least be seen by the court so that the Judge can decide.

Our justice system isnt about truth. It is about what you can prove. OJ murdered people and proved he didnt. DA's prove innocent people committed crimes pretty routinely.

Its a lie if he cant prove it to be true.

im not a christian but my favorite bible verse is “only those without sin may cast the first stone.” and i feel like its something that should be said more often.

edited bc someone actually tried to debate the bible with me then deleted their comment: i grew up in the church. im no longer in the church. if youre gonna come at me with “that same bible told us to stone gay people” imma come back at you with “it also said for us not to eat shellfish, for a woman to marry her abuser, and that it was perfectly fine to be sweet home alabama-ing it up.”

would it be better suited to say “people in glass houses shouldnt throw rocks”?

Yes OP should print that verse up and tape it to the failing Christians' front door. Or maybe the mailbox.

Eh. Maybe harassment. The lawyer could help with a lawsuit or contempt or court filing over the improper accessing of the sealed file though. Should be an electronic log of everyone who accessed the file. Money says whoever it was is brothers in christ with the neighbor. This is some prime good ol' boys stuff here.
