Description | Former assistant state attorney general and University of Michigan alumnus Andrew Shirvell, who was named in a stalking and harassment lawsuit last month, said in a filing last week he is the real victim and that the case has ruined his reputation and livelihood.
Shirvell, who is representing himself, was sued last month by Chris Armstrong, who was the first openly gay University of Michigan student body president.
He claims Shirvell engaged in a campaign against him, including writing on a blog that he is a radical homosexual activist who held orgies. He says in the suit that Shirvell showed up at places where he was, including in front of his house in the middle of the night.
In the May 6 filing, Shirvell asked a federal judge to dismiss the lawsuit, saying he was just exercising his First Amendment rights. He said he never had direct contact with Armstrong, rendering moot the stalking portion of the complaint. |
