Monita Nehmes Continued Harassment of Craig

Craigs letter to Monita Nehmes lawyers regarding her bizzare attack on him

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

In regard to your letter dated 9 July 2018 and posted 12 July 2018 I detail the following points. I am surprised to receive your letter regarding matters that have already been brought before the Court and dealt with, the recent factual statements I have made about the Court proceedings and my time with Monita. If you pursue these matters again it will raise the issue of costs.

 

Firstly, I deny the allegations stated in your letter which most of are supported by a previous Court decision in my favour.

 

You have requested: “Immediate withdrawal of your website, as well as social media posts published in NSW related to our client”. I have not published in NSW (my posts were made in NZ but some have been geo-tagged in Australia) and hence an Australian Court has no jurisdiction over me (and I also live in New Zealand). Moreover, I have not made or said any untrue statements about Monita Nehme and have given my honest opinion. Can you be more precise and inform me about which statements you believe to be untrue and why you believe them to be untrue, including those which you believe fall in the Australian Courts jurisdiction? I am willing to work through this with you.

 

You also seem unhappy with my posting the official Court ruling, which clearly shows Monita has made a false police statement about me. I find no reason as to why this would be the case as it is public record.

 

Furthermore, defamation refers to something said or written by one person which negatively affects the reputation of another person, and that thing said or written is not true or is

unsubstantiated. All statements I have made about Monita are true and able to be substantiated.

 

Monita continues to harass and subdue me from telling the truth by making false statements against me and utilising vexatious litigation threats. For example, her false and vexatious statement to Police that resulted in Court the previous proceedings and also your letters. ‘Vexatious litigation’ is legal action which is brought, regardless of its merits, solely to harass or subdue an adversary. Filing vexatious litigation is considered an abuse of the judicial process and may result in sanctions against the offender. Please refer to Judge Truscot’s decision in October 2016 regarding Monita’s false and vexatious police statement about me: “I mean, his credibility is pretty evident, her credibility is pretty lacking”… ”What she seems to be seeking in the witness box is that he not make any posts about her on Facebook. There was intimate personal information that he knew about and that he chose to share”… “(stop him posting information about them) And I think that it was Ms Nehme was trying to achieve when she went to the police”… “Accordingly, the application is dismissed” (taken from the official Court transcript). The Judge’s decision supports my position and makes everything very clear.

 

Additionally, Monita has and continues to harass and subdue me by making false complaints not only to police but Google, Facebook, the Sleep Express Motel and Blogspot. I would request she stop stalking, harassing and making false statements about me. She has accused me of impersonating myself, falsely stated I have been impersonating the Sleepy Express Motel, complained to Google and Blogspot about me, complained to Facebook about my photos and posts. My legal advice states that I can bring defamation proceedings against Monita here in New Zealand for the false statements she has made about me and the damage they have caused me in NZ. I reserve the right to pursue these proceedings if Monita doesn’t desist in making false and vexatious attacks against me, harassing and stalking me online. I note she has been sent a ‘cease and desist notice’ already which she refused to accept the terms of.

 

I have previously requested that Monita apologise and sought an undertaking that she not lie anymore and tell the truth about what has transpired between us. She refused hence my need to defend myself and to make the truth known.

 

I would welcome the matter to be heard before the Court (both in Australia for your case and in NZ for my case). The publicity it would generate would greatly benefit me and highlight the need for the judicial system in Australia to be reviewed so victims of crimes of perjury, making a false statement and harassment can be addressed and fixed. I remind you that I am also a New Zealand (NZ) citizen and live in NZ and all statements I have made regarding Monita have been made in NZ. In the very unlikely event of a judgement against me Australian Courts have no jurisdiction here.

  

I would like to amicably resolve these matters with you. Please email me with your reply as I am as on holiday overseas (in some remote areas without internet) from 23 July 2016 – 27 August 2018 and I will attend to the issues as soon as possible. I am also in Sydney on 27/28 August 2018 if you would like to discuss this matter in person and come to a mutually amicable conclusion.

 

I am prepared to do most of what you request and take down the website so long as Monita makes an undertaking to give me a genuine and sincere apology for making a false police statement and to also tell our family and friends the truth about what has transpired. I am not interested in pursuing financial reimbursement of the significant amount of money her false statements have cost me if this helps resolve the matter, additionally I will not pursue criminal charges against Monita for her perjury and the crimes she has committed against me.
