Description
[5 N.Y.2d 134 Page 135] One Ivan Jerome, who was required to stand trial for various sex offenses, failed to appear on the appointed day and forfeited
his bail. On the following day the allegedly defamatory article appeared in the defendant's paper, Newsday. Respondent sues
for libel claiming that the article identifies him as the man who aided Jerome "in jumping his bail and assisted him to escape
the consequences of his alleged criminal actions." He avers that the statements are false and that as a result he has been
held up to public contempt, disgrace and ridicule and has been irreparably injured in his calling as a police instructor and
criminologist.
