Using the statement would be about the plaintiff saying that the plaintiff is a criminal, suffers from diseases, engages in unfair business practices or is some sort of a sexual misfeasant and/or malfeasant. In these types of situations, they law implies damages, so what normally would be the most difficult part of the defamation case, which is damages is now implied as a matter of law and it becomes a presumption of negligent defamation.
