According to newarkadvocate.com Vicky Christiansen, a candidate for Licking County Domestic Relations judge, filled a lawsuit against WCLT's General Manager and President Douglas C. Pricer. WCLT is a radio station in Ohio. The station aired and published on their website an endorsement editorial which Christiansen claims was "defamatory libel and slander."
The editorial read: "In July of 2007 a police report alleging assault was filed with the Newark Police Department against Vicky Christiansen. In the report she is accused of striking a person in a courthouse elevator. She has also had several complaints concerning her behavior filed with the Ohio Supreme Court's disciplinary counsel."
However, the Ohio Supreme Court told The Pataskala Standard that “no public fillings are pending” for complaints and that “none of the three candidates in the race have been sanctioned by the court for their work as attorneys."
In 2007 there was a police report filled claiming Christiansen slapped another women in an elevator, no charges were filled.
Richard Wright and Paul Harmon were endorsed by WCLT. Christiansen is seeking $500,000 in damages, a permanent injunction, and immediate removal of the editorial from their website.
