That is despicable!
The truth is, she doesn't charge; she GIVES it away free.
Legal advice to illegals, that is.
>>She really is popular or very inexpensive. (Hey Joe . . . Five Dolla-Five Dolla<<
Can be interpreted to mean she is looking for some kind of work other than prostitution. Furthermore, that could be just a bad joke. I doubt anyone with normal intelligence would be led to believe that she actually was a prostitute by reading that text.
No doubt the judge, if he is so inclined, will be able to feel his way around this problem.

C'mon, that's wishful thinking, aka "spin". All I said was it looks like the woman has a case.
Libel and slander are tricky things... It's British law, I know, but one of the most famous libel cases of all time involved a newspaper critic implying Liberace was gay. He won... and "cried all the way to the bank".
Of course, saying someone is gay -- if they are -- is not libellous, but if they aren't and it's done maliciously, that's another story. Same thing, I think (is they a lawyer in the house?) with prostitution. Being in the porn industry (and she seems to have only been a critic and fan of cartoon porn, not a producer or actor or writer) doesn't make you a prostitute.

As if defense (and prosecution) lawyers don't "spin" like crazy in court.
In the "Hustler Magazine v. Falwell" libel case:
>>The jury was not convinced that a typical person reading the satire would have thought that Jerry Falwell really did make the statements in question or have sex with his mother in an outhouse.<<
I certainly think the comment was in bad taste, but if the "$5" statement quoted is all that was written, it is preposterous to call it libel. This is Calfornia, though, so anything is possible.
