Former DeWine Staffer Being Sued

From the Washington Post:
A judge on Wednesday allowed a lawsuit to proceed against Jessica Cutler, the former Senate aide who posted details of her sex life on the Internet.

The case brought by Sen. Mike DeWine's former counsel to the Senate Judiciary Committee, Robert Steinbuch, alleges that Cutler engaged in an invasion of his privacy in 2004 by publishing sexually explicit facts about a relationship with Steinbuch.

Cutler was fired from DeWine's staff after the Web log _ which identified her purported sex partners by initials _ created a public sensation.
Oh...it created a sensation alright...it put that ridiculous Wonkette blog on the map.

As it turns out, most of what Cutler posted won't be looked at by the court because the judge rules that RS could only complain about what had been posted in the year prior to his filing the suit.
