Vermont H0107 extends anti-SLAPP protections to good faith reports or complaints of sex offenses or sexual harassment.
Vermont H0107 amends the state's anti-SLAPP statute to include good faith reports or complaints of sex offenses or sexual harassment within its protections. This means individuals who report or complain in good faith about violations of laws related to lewdness, prostitution, sexual assault, or sexual harassment, or retaliation for such reports, can file a special motion to strike. If the court grants the motion, the plaintiff must pay compensatory damages, costs, and attorney's fees, with the possibility of punitive damages.
