Actually I think this is probably for the best. It stinks for Nik but if there is a trial then there is a precedent for later cases. Where bloggers/site owners such as Nik can’t be held accountable for things they shouldn’t be held accountable for. It’s unfortunate that it was Nik and thedirty.com BUT it was going to be someone. Better that it’s someone with some money in the bank and who has an audience large enough to understand what he’s doing than some Joe Schmoe who can’t afford counsel and maybe 2 people know him.
The judge filed the order by the same defendant as used in all court proceedings. You are seeing the “The Dirt” because Eric had to amend the defendant name on the original case because “He” had it wrong.
So it has nothing to do with “Proofreading”. That being said, please proofread yours. “asvwell” ??
This isn’t Vegas or the clubs or anywhere else where you act like a drunken mess, so don’t go in there wanting to call Sarah names and cheering and acting like general jackasses.
If Sarah wins this, it sets some very ugly legal precedents.

2cents i said the same thing yesterday. The comments section is a mess of assholes. i can see hazing a new person, or Anonymous, but do we really need to behave like idiots here? I think the DA should pull together right now. Be on your best conduct HERE as well as in Court. How are we “DA strong” when nobody gets along in the comments and tells regular posters to shut the fxck up. C’mon people lets grow up. We do have a common enemy here after all.
I’m truly afraid some doofus yells something. It could hurt Nik’ s case, then again, they’ll be thrown in jail for it (remember the middle finger at Mason during Casey Anthony’s trial?)
Don’t dress like a slob either. Wear your ‘ Sunday Best’ The courts take that seriously. What you wear reflects this site. If Sarah wins, the internet as we know it will be gone.
I watched the whole Dateline “Crossing the Line” episode. It was shocking how she straight up LIES, and then later she admits that she was lying!!! Someone had commented on the last post about her…that she is a sociopath, and after watching that, it all makes sense. She is so full of herself. Her lawyer is CRAZY, and in interviews he comes off like an ambulance chaser with roid rage. I have no idea why this is even still happening to you. I hope your lawyer plans on using some of that Dateline episode as proof of how much of a lying pig she is. She definitely needs to pay your attorneys fees for this crap.
Nik because of the continued decay of our nation, I believe this liberal judge will favor for Sarah (the child molester) Jones! They will call you a bully and because of your actions the life of Sarah Jones has been destroyed… The court will completely ignore the fact she molested a 16 year old boy which was 100% the cause of her life coming apart. I hope I’m wrong, but I also see the direction our justice system is headed…you and the DA will be a stepping stone to limit the 1st Amendment!!!
nik. i will be there. I promise to behave. It will be hard, cause i would like to strangle that S.J. chick. Since my house is down the street, why the hell not! You got fan support for sure. No way you should have to pay cause she is a whore who lies and sues to cover her lies!
I agree .. I think he wants to set an example using this case . It’s sad because how can they prove that this ruined her reputation ? It’s not like she lost her job over it ! I also agree that this will change things in a big way if she wins !! Everyone and their brother will be trying to sue !! Good luck to you Nik hope you have some really good representation !
Nik, you’ve got many advantages over her. You’ve got lots of fans and supporters, and also honesty and intelligence, which she clearly lacks. This c*nt is a NOBODY who no one likes. The only support she has is her child lover, dipsh*t lawyer, and her mommy. Make sure you put these rednecks in their place!
This is ridiculous… For a second time they can’t even get the Defendant of the case correct in a formalized document and preceeding? Real slick… How can they even take this seriously lol please make the Ohio river valley your new pit stop once you squash this unjust bullsh*t, Nik. Bummed I gotta work an can’t come support you!
I hope Hooman loses and gets a huge financial judgement against him. You can’t go around slandering people and the case has nothing to do with her fucking the student.
Nik please tell your wife (respectfully) not to go in the courthouse all “hollywood”. She should try to look as matronly and homely as possible. She is very beautiful so it will take some effort on her part to change her image. Remember she is an extension of you.
Im glad Nik posted this because you know there will be people up in there acting a fool and I sincerely hope it wont ruin his chances. Best of luck to you with this one, Nik.
Agreed, it’s probably best for Shayne not to go. She’s the blonde personification of someone getting rich from “bullying” and exploiting others. At least, that’s how it may be perceived. I don’t see any way that she would influence the case positively, unless she shows up in sweats with Press. No red lipstick, no blonde mane. People naturally look for a reason to hate beautiful women anyway, you don’t want her to be seen as “the enemy”.
Sarah Jones is disgusting. I didn’t follow the child molestor case closely because it was too sensationalized by the media and it made me sick. BUT after seeing her on Anaderson Cooper lying, spinning, and trying to control the entire segment by cutting you off repeatedly, it was obvious that we have a stage nine sociopath on our hands. She is cold, calculated, and is getting exactly what she wants from the world – attention. Lying to the public specifically to manipulate and shape opinion in regards to a legal matter should be punishable, just like perjury, breach of public trust (Lance Armstrong comes to mind as well). I love how she claimed she got a default judgment for $11 mill from you, when that was 100% false, just like when she said she never had sexual intercourse with her underage student was 100% false.Her attorney is an idiot, that’s like law 101- make sure you are suing the right person. LOL!
I hope you win Nik. Good Luck! lawsuits are extremely stressful, I feel for you buddy!
Hey, after you win this can you repost all the Sarah Jones stories you had to take down? I wasn’t DA when all this started and I missed all the good stuff.
There is less advertising on this website than usual as well as Nik’s tone has changed a lot recently with the way he speaks on here. Just an observation in which I could be wrong. I really hope he wins this case just because this lawsuit is utterly ridiculous, but I also hope he wins just for the sake of his own well-being. Regardless of the outcome, onwards and upwards my friend.
Why would we do anything to Benefit you after you jus bashed all of us , dumb fuck ! You’re daughter will grow up to hate you , negative -nik I decided better start making more websites cause if you lose u might end up in the good ole trailer park
One more thing thats important–what she is suing you for (posting about the football team, her ex, std’s, ect) is NOT what caused her to lose her job. Those posts did NOT ”defame” her or destroy her reputation. She still had her job at least a year after those posts were made. Just because her student’s said stuff about it, does not mean that it prevented her from working. Her molestation of her student is what caused her to lose her job and get banned from teaching. She brought it upon herself. She ”resigned” from teaching around the same time she was arrested for having sex with her student. That is the issue that caused her to be defamed, there is no proof that those other posts caused her any significant damage or losses. She did all that to herself! Make sure you make that point clear in court Nik.
OK soo i always think everything i read on here has some truth to it because people get bitter and angry and blow things out of proportion…if your a hooker, stripper or an escort it doesn’t phase,change my life or take away from it so i never care for those posts but this lil whore who walks around asking for 11mil from the dirty for doing what this pedophile isnt capable of doing “TELLING THE TRUTH” i hope god gives you a son and his teacher does the same thing u did to this teenage boy…even if Cody’s white trash mother is okay with u molesting her son there is no excuse the rest of us will never be okay with it and i hope the judge doesn’t give a cent u sad ET looking whore…people like u should be locked up and this cody dude needs mental help he thinks hes cool for banging a cheerleader and this fugly bitch took advantage i hope shes left without a dime so she could really make happily ever after with this child she took a oath to teach and protect. SMH
BAHAHAHAHA I just saw a picture of your wife for the first and are you kidding shes what we call a budda face….shes got everything budda face! Wow I honestly didn’t even know you were married until this thread. I look at all the females you attack on here who are absolutely drop dead gorgeous and your saying there fat and need to go to a gym, fix there nose etc. Well well well by the way you critique us females I thought you’d be with on of the finest. Your wife actually is in serious need of a nose job and I’m not sure what it is….but I think her eyes are really close together and it makes her look odd. Her bod’s got it going on tho. Just very surprised after your critiques on EVERY female thats posted having something wrong! Hope this peice of shit site is taken down, things like this running bullying will never be a thing of the past. Who the fuck cares if she banged a student really….has nothing to do with you! You are trash and so is your close eyed wifey with the huge ass nose!

ok after reading this i have a better understanding of the case it has nothing to do with screwing her student.
Bertelsman has absolutely no regard for the Communications Decency Act. That’s why this whole thing has gone on as long as it has.

Great man. Lets just hope he isn’t a DETERS fan.
They should really proofread their documents,
“thedirt.com”
Unprofessional. The lawyer seems dimwitted asvwell.
The judge filed the order by the same defendant as used in all court proceedings. You are seeing the “The Dirt” because Eric had to amend the defendant name on the original case because “He” had it wrong.
So it has nothing to do with “Proofreading”. That being said, please proofread yours. “asvwell” ??
If people only knew how serious this trail is….
Agreed.
This isn’t Vegas or the clubs or anywhere else where you act like a drunken mess, so don’t go in there wanting to call Sarah names and cheering and acting like general jackasses.

I agree with Allie 100%
“Trail”? I have never been on a “serious trail “before. I’ve been to a serious trial,but NEVER Trail…..hehaha.
I watched the whole Dateline “Crossing the Line” episode. It was shocking how she straight up LIES, and then later she admits that she was lying!!! Someone had commented on the last post about her…that she is a sociopath, and after watching that, it all makes sense. She is so full of herself.

Good luck to you, Nik.

If you go to the trial…act a fool!!!!
This judge has it out for Nik. You also can tell he thinks this trial is going to be a circus that is why these rules are in place.
No the rules are in place because Eric Deters acts like an idiot in the courtroom. He is always full of DRAMA !!! Watch and see,he’ll still do it.
Good Luck Nik. KY is cheering for you
I agree .. I think he wants to set an example using this case . It’s sad because how can they prove that this ruined her reputation ? It’s not like she lost her job over it ! I also agree that this will change things in a big way if she wins !! Everyone and their brother will be trying to sue !! Good luck to you Nik hope you have some really good representation !
Ugh I wish I could be there!
Nik, you’ve got many advantages over her. You’ve got lots of fans and supporters, and also honesty and intelligence, which she clearly lacks. This c*nt is a NOBODY who no one likes. The only support she has is her child lover, dipsh*t lawyer, and her mommy. Make sure you put these rednecks in their place!
It’s going to get bloody, I plan on rubbing one out while in the gallery.
This is ridiculous… For a second time they can’t even get the Defendant of the case correct in a formalized document and preceeding? Real slick… How can they even take this seriously lol please make the Ohio river valley your new pit stop once you squash this unjust bullsh*t, Nik. Bummed I gotta work an can’t come support you!
Is the trial today? What time? Please let me know!
I hope Hooman loses and gets a huge financial judgement against him. You can’t go around slandering people and the case has nothing to do with her fucking the student.
Nik please tell your wife (respectfully) not to go in the courthouse all “hollywood”. She should try to look as matronly and homely as possible. She is very beautiful so it will take some effort on her part to change her image. Remember she is an extension of you.
I agree with you Michelle, i dont think Shayne should even go!
How this case not been thrown out they threatened to extort you
Im glad Nik posted this because you know there will be people up in there acting a fool and I sincerely hope it wont ruin his chances. Best of luck to you with this one, Nik.
I’m glad Nik posted this because you know people would be all up in that place acting a fool. And I also agree with Michelle. Best of luck to you Nik.
Agreed, it’s probably best for Shayne not to go. She’s the blonde personification of someone getting rich from “bullying” and exploiting others. At least, that’s how it may be perceived.

Nik, what time is court scheduled for?
Why would we do anything to Benefit you after you jus bashed all of us , dumb fuck ! You’re daughter will grow up to hate you , negative -nik I decided better start making more websites cause if you lose u might end up in the good ole trailer park
section 230 of the communications act
Hooman not removing content after 2 requests is not being much of “good samaritan”
One more thing thats important–what she is suing you for (posting about the football team, her ex, std’s, ect) is NOT what caused her to lose her job. Those posts did NOT ”defame” her or destroy her reputation. She still had her job at least a year after those posts were made.

Make sure you make that point clear in court Nik.
Lol damn if I were able to attend I would gather a group of people to heckle her outside of the courthouse
OK soo i always think everything i read on here has some truth to it because people get bitter and angry and blow things out of proportion…if your a hooker, stripper or an escort it doesn’t phase,change my life or take away from it so i never care for those posts but this lil whore who walks around asking for 11mil from the dirty for doing what this pedophile isnt capable of doing “TELLING THE TRUTH” i hope god gives you a son and his teacher does the same thing u did to this teenage boy…even if Cody’s white trash mother is okay with u molesting her son there is no excuse the rest of us will never be okay with it and i hope the judge doesn’t give a cent u sad ET looking whore…people like u should be locked up and this cody dude needs mental help he thinks hes cool for banging a cheerleader and this fugly bitch took advantage i hope shes left without a dime so she could really make happily ever after with this child she took a oath to teach and protect. SMH
HAHAHAHA! I hope the judge rules in favor of her and shuts your pathetic site down your fucking tool!
BAHAHAHAHA I just saw a picture of your wife for the first and are you kidding shes what we call a budda face….shes got everything budda face! Wow I honestly didn’t even know you were married until this thread.
