THREAT/ TROLL/ CYBERSTALKER/ STALKER ALERT -

Aug 12, 2012; updated Aug 30, 2012 and Sept 15, 2012: Since July 23, 2012, through multiple public troll-posts at various pages on Facebook by an individual identifying as a "Bella London", the Plaintiff, Peterson, in Peterson v Hottes (aka PetersonvHottes) and the Plaintiff's other daughter have been vilified and subjected to repeated personal attack and false allegations. "Bella London" claims to be a "supporter" of the Defendant in Peterson v Hottes (aka PetersonvHottes) . "Bella Londoan" is not known to the Plaintiff, Peterson, in Peterson v Hottes and her other daughter or any other family members of the Plaintiff. Without the consent or prior knowledge of either the Plaintiff or the Plaintiff's other daughter, "Bella London's" false allegations and vilification have totalled between 70 - 100, distributed via Facebook. It has now been verified that this individual has been going to Facebook pages visited by the Plaintiff's other daughter and posting false allegations and character assassination comments about Peterson and her other daughter, along with open hate-speech, at those pages.

Although the elderly Plaintiff in Peterson v Hottes (aka PetersonvHottes) is a physically frail-aged 82 year old who is not on Facebook, has no public profile, and her location information is not publicly available, "Bella London" has repeatedly published at those Facebook pages, the location of Blue Mountains, Australia, as the elderly Plaintiff's location. Within those posts, both the elderly Plaintiff in Peterson v Hottes (aka PetersonvHottes) and her other daughter have been repeatedly named in false public allegations about the substance and facts of the particular litigation. These statements are prejudicial to the Plaintiff's appeal which has not yet been heard.

"Bella London" has also declared written intent with malice to further harm the Plaintiff's other daughter by creating a website or page with "the truth" about the Plaintiff's other daughter, if the latter does not comply with the third party's demands to take a particular course of action. This has been accompanied by the threat to publish "letters" unknown to the Plaintiff's other daughter and allusion to at least one other person possibly providing material and/ or assistance to carry out these threats. False, denigrating and damaging assertions as to the Plaintiff's character, that of her other daughter, and of the latter's professional life, including in association with her registered company, have repeatedly been made. Although the Plaintiff's other daughter was neither a litigant nor a testifying witness in the litigation, private facts about her have repeatedly been published by "Bella London". False allegations as to the Plaintiff's conduct of her case have been made. Private facts covered by privilege between the Plaintiff and her lawyers have also been published by "Bella London".

Given the specificity of detail that "Bella London", as a purported "supporter" of the Defendant, has multi-published pertaining to the Peterson v Hottes case (aka PetersonvHottes) , including private facts covered by attorney-client privilege and matters which remain sub judice, suspicions are now held that "Bella London" is, at minimum, a close associate of the Defendant acting behind a pseudonymous Facebook identity. The suspicion that "Bella London" could indeed be the Defendant herself is also not ruled out.

Update - Sept 15, 2012: A concerned third party has brought to the attention of the elderly Plaintiff in Peterson v. Hottes (aka PetersonvHottes), and her elder daughter, that as of 7 September, 2012, "Bella.London" newly purports via Facebook to reside at Springwood, NSW, a town within the Blue Mountains (Australia). The Blue Mountains (City of) is the location that "Bella London" has previously multi-published via Facebook as the location of the elderly Plaintiff in Peterson v Hottes (aka PetersonvHottes). Accordingly, "Bella London's" new claim to reside in a town within the Blue Mountains can only be construed as wilful intent to terrorize the elderly Plaintiff in Peterson v Hottes. Successfully so. The Plaintiff is a mobility impared, frail aged indivudual with limited means to defend herself if accosted by the Defendant.

In light of "Bella London's" actions and the fact that multiple cease and desist instructions to "Bella London" have repeatedly been ignored, the greatest concern is for the safety of the physically frail, aged Plaintiff in Peterson v. Hottes. Police at two locations are now alerted to the threat posed to the elderly Plaintiff in Peterson v Hottes(aka PetersonvHottes). Three community organizations have also been alerted. Anyone with knowledge of "Bella London", or of any parties purporting to be "supporters" of the Defendant in Peterson v Hottes and who are also involved in "Bella London's" activities towards the elderly Plaintiff in Peterson v Hottes (and/ or towards the Plaintiff's elder daughter), please contact this site urgently at the email address below and contact the police. Most importantly, if you have knowledge of any imminent or escalating threat to the Plaintiff in Peterson v Hottes (or the Plaintiff's elder daughter, or any other family members of the latter) please contact the police immediately.

Update: October 16, 2012: Ongoing inquiry has narrowed the probable ISP of "Bella London" to two possibilities originating from Tasmania, Australia, and an ISP based in Brisbane, Australia, might also be involved.

Subsequently, other family members of the elderly Plaintiff, Peterson, have notifed that an ever increasing number of "Bella London" accounts have been appearing on Facebook, interpreted by those family members as a way to smoke screen the true originator's identity.
