Game writer Chris Avellone has filed
a libel lawsuit over sexual misconduct allegations that surfaced against him
one
year ago (thanks

Schmeyer via
Gamasutra).
Just yesterday
we mentioned a few posts by Chris addressing the situation, and clearly these
were related to the lawsuit. The defendants are listed as Karissa Barrows, Kelly
Bristol, and 100 Jane Does, and the complaint includes a demand for jury trial.
Part of it alleges conspiratorial behavior:
Avellone is informed and
believes, and based thereon alleges, that at all times herein mentioned, each
unnamed Defendant was the agent of the other named Defendant(s) herein, and at
all times were and are acting within the purpose and scope of such agency, and
with the permission and consent of his/her/its named co-Defendant(s) with
knowledge, authorization, permission, consent, and/or subsequent ratification
and approval of each co-Defendant. Avellone is further informed and believes,
and based thereon alleges, that each named and unnamed Defendant knowingly and
willfully conspired and agreed among themselves to deprive Avellone of his
rights and to cause the damages described herein.
