The High Court has awarded libel damages amounting to £10,000 as compensation for stress and anxiety after an image of child sexual abuse, together with a comment falsely indicating he was a paedophile, was posted onto Raymond Bryce's Facebook page. The image could be viewed by hundreds of users and, although removed in 24 hours, the court held that the information was defamatory and deeply offensive. Damages were awarded to compensate for harm to Mr Bryce's reputation and for injury to his feelings. This can be an ongoing issue for staff and students in FE and HE institutions and the article may be useful to illustrate the need for users to ensure privacy settings restrict who can post information onto pages, and to highlight potential consequences of posting defamatory content onto other members’ profiles.
