A Nova Scotia judge has ordered an Inuk woman to pay a Halifax university professor she once dated $85,000 in damages for labelling him a sexual predator on social media after they broke up.

The professor is identified by the initials J.F. in the judge’s written decision in order to protect the identity of his young daughter. His online harasser, a former student at the university where he teaches, is dubbed B.A.

"Unfounded allegations that Mr. F is a sexual predator are bad enough," the judge wrote. Attempting to destroy a life "is a terrible thing."{ai:summary}<p>A Nova Scotia judge has ordered an Inuk woman to pay $85,000 in damages to a Halifax university professor for calling him a sexual predator on social media following their breakup.
