Plaintiff Wins Bid to Remain Anonymous in Suit Over Online Ad
A part-time actress and elementary school teacher has won her bid to remain anonymous in a $5 million suit against a jewelry company that she claims violated her civil rights by using her image in an Internet ad with a "decidedly pornographic look." Acting Supreme Court Justice Shirley Werner Kornreich of Manhattan held that "the only purpose revelation of plaintiff's name could have would be to further discomfit plaintiff and perhaps deter her from litigating the matter."
