Hello Friends,

My name is Jamie R. Stone. I am a graphic designer and entertainer on YouTube, Twitch, TeePublic, and more. I am more popularly known on YouTube as Lycan but go by James as well. I had started out my channels as a bit of fun and discussion but that soon turned into a fully fledged business and even a career. It used to help supplement my t-shirt design business, but now it has taken over that by leaps and bounds and become my main source of income.

What had started out as fun soon became depressing, stressful, frightening and downright dangerous. I have been the target of multiple smear campaigns designed to destroy my good name, reputation and my business and income. I have also been stalked in my real life and had my family threatened and my possessions vandalized... I have been accused multiple times over the course of 3 years by a gang of internet criminals calling me a pedophile, groomer, predator, and more, with ZERO PROOF to back up their claims, only conjecture and bloated narratives with ZERO basis in truth. My name and address were even put into a PREDATOR HUNTER GROUP in an effort to try to hunt me down and end my life.

I have NEVER been arrested, nor was I ever charged with a crime of any sort, much less anything pedophilic in nature, much to the chagrin of these internet stalkers. That said, that has not stopped their incessant attacks and slander against me and my business.

I have always had a somewhat "abrasive" sense of humor and said many off-color things in jest. But the Internet has seen fit to take these comments and vilify me to the point of putting me in actual danger... This isn't right, and it isn't LEGAL. These accusations could get me killed. I am serious about going to court and doing what I have to to end this once and for all.

I have long debated doing an actual fundraiser to bring these matters to court, but I feel that now is the time since it doesn't seem to be going away, and I need to make an example out of these people once and for all to stop these endless allegations that are designed maliciously to strip me away of my rights, my money, my reputation and my peace of mind.

I have lost a lot in income as a result of these repeated attacks, slander and harassment. My business is at stake, which is a registered LLC, and I will take anybody to court who chooses to slander me in this way on ANY platform on the Internet.

Any amount of money you can donate would be helpful and I appreciate every single one of you who has stuck by my side in this endeavor with me. It warms me to my soul. <3

Defamation as it is defined by the LAW:

Defamation of character is part of personal injury law because it causes damage to an individual’s character or reputation. Defamation is classified as either libel, which is written defamation or slander, which is spoken defamation. Defamation is not considered a criminal wrong, but rather a tort or a civil wrong. Defamation can take a multitude of forms in modern society. Defamation can be found in local newspaper letters to the editor, PUBLIC COMMENTS ON WEBSITES, blog posts, comment sections, and even  social media  pages.

To understand how to pursue a claim of defamation, it is a prerequisite that a plaintiff can identify what a defamatory statement is. A statement of defamation is a statement that holds the plaintiff up to scorn, hatred, ridicule, disgrace, or contempt in the minds of a respectable segment of the community. There are certain statements made that will automatically be considered defamation. If an individual says that a plaintiff has committed a serious crime, is a predator/pedophile, has an infectious disease, or is incompetent at their job, these statements are automatically considered DEFAMATORY.

This does not mean that every time a plaintiff has their feelings hurt, they can pursue a claim of defamation. A statement of defamation is a FALSE statement of fact, not an opinion. Opinions are not considered to be defamatory in nature. Additionally, for statements to be considered defamatory, they must be said to a third party. A plaintiff cannot be the victim of defamation if a defamed statement is said or written only to themselves.

So in other words, if they are blasted out to a public platform for hundreds or thousands to see, that is DEFINITELY considered DEFAMATION.
