An unprecedented sex blog case in Washington

When Robert Steinbuch found out that his girlfriend had described the " intimate " details of the theft of two people on her blog, this Capitol Hill staff member was not only crazy, but also a lawyer to decide to "make it" everything.

Still, like so many scandals, soon the news of the "mourning" story between two US Senate aides has spread from the front pages of newspapers to front pages. Talk about cabbage. Everyone knew that Steinbuch had accepted the invitation to teach in Arkansas, leaving behind Washington and the 'Washingtoniene' blog site of her lover Jessica Cutler.

Often the rate of spread of such cases is always inversely proportional to the time to prosecute related proceedings. The incident with Steinbuch involved not only a troubled blog accused of sexual aspects, but also towards a much more complicated trial.

Leaving aside the implications of the punishment, evidence, a lawsuit in Washington also helps people shape problems, people with blogs (or blogs) are forced to keep their secrets private. of people they have a relationship in real life?

Miss Cutler, Steinbuch's lover is also a former assistant to Senator Mike DeWine, R-Ohio. She said, in 2004, she set up a blog to contact some friends. Imitating humorous jokes about sexuality like in the ' Sex and the City ' play, Cutler also recounted his stories and jokes and jokes when he had to 'trickle' in his office. Us blanket pillow with . six men at the same time.

One of the six was Steinbuch, DeWine's adviser to the Judicial Committee. Cutler called him a "current favorite" and said he was like George Clooney in some "habits" when doing that. Cutler wrote: ' He (Steinbuch) is very tolerant in that. He used to like to say obscene, obscene words, and he told me that he liked the type of woman who was easy to say .

And when Ana Marie Cox, the editor of the website chatting with Wonkette.com, "got" those lines, she immediately created a link from her website to Cutler's blog, now the story has spread. Can control it anymore. Cutler was excited and Steinbuch said he was humiliated in public. Steinbuch petitioned Cutler for an honorary compensation of $ 20 million.

The unseen lawsuit has become one of the most difficult problems ever seen when both the pros and cons want to exploit the other party's personal information. Steinbuch wanted to know how much money Cutler paid from the man she called "sweet father". And Cutler wanted to know the opinions of the students at Little Rock Law School in Arkansas, the school Steinbuch was teaching.

Recently, Steinbuch added Cox editors to the list of defendants. The prosecution date has not been decided yet, but according to Cutler lawyer Matthew Billips, there will not be any talks to help counter this confrontation. Lawyer Billips said: ' I don't know what he wants. He never said anything. These are things I think should be done . '

Both Steinbuch and his lawyer refused to answer the phone asking for comments. In court, Steinbuch's lawyer, Jonathan Rosen, said Steinbuch wanted to restore his reputation. The fact that all students in the legal ethics class in charge of Ankarsas have searched the Internet for information about the infamous blog. Attorney Rosen concluded: ' It is not a joke but a vandal. It's scary, horrible . '

In order to win this case, Steinbuch was forced to prove that the circumstances in the " room " relationship between him and Miss Cutler were completely private, and that publicity was an act of aggression. committed heavily. Cutler's lawyer argued, she had never had a public opinion of blogs, but in the information age today, it is not difficult for the data to be copied and distributed by the employer.

If this lawsuit is brought to trial, its results will be very important, not only to the people involved but also to the bloggers, as well as those who have a habit of keeping a record of their lives. Social sites like MySpace or Facebook.

Marc Rotenberg, director of the electronic personal information center, said he might take this Washington lawsuit into the content of his classroom next spring at Georgetown Law School. He said: ' Anyone who wants to reveal his private life has the right to do it. But it would be a different matter if you wanted to expose someone else's personal matters . '

According to Rotenberg, a diary is no longer simply understood in the traditional way as a leather cover book under the pillow, because it is also an electronic website that millions of people can read. However, Rotenberg also doubted whether Cutler would sneak videos of the couple's situation and sell them without permission from Steinbuch.

After this exciting incident, Cutler returned to New York and wrote a novel based on the details of the scandal created by himself. She also sent her nude photos to Playboy magazine and built a sponsorship website. Cutler did not mention the case but said she was surprised at what just happened.

Judge Friedman was also surprised. In April last year he told both sides 'lawyers:' I don't understand why we were in this trial. I don't know what makes the plaintiff think that suing the lawsuit is smart when it comes to exposing all of his personal, sensitive details . '

And Lanny Davis, a special adviser to President Clinton, who also advises law firms during the incident, advised her clients to decide if they need to be fair. Really or simply want to be 'famous'.

Davis said: ' If you find justice, the legal system is the only thing you need, and if you want to be the focus of conversations, chat is a' forum '. worst '.
