What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Georgia
I am writing an autobiography. I have been posting chapters online as I go forward. So far I have used real names of my family. Nothing of any controversy has been written yet. But I am about to publish chapters of my sexual abuse at the hands of a priest at a Catholic school. I was under 10 years old when it started. Can I state his name? Also going to write about abuse from a neighbor and state the approximate location of their house. What is my legal exposure to stating the priest's name? He still works with children to this day. I have never filed formal complaints or lawsuits against him. Thoughts?
