She "agrees with Todd that there are two types of defamatory messages at issue: Lovecrufts statements that Todd sexually assaulted and/or raped someone other than Lovecruft, and Lovecrufts statements that Todd engaged in sexual misconduct toward Lovecruft." The court considered four statements that had been submitted and concluded that, if they are false, "Todd has made a prima facie case" that the second statement is "[defamation per quod](https://definitions.uslegal.com/d/defamation-per-quod/)," while the first, third, and fourth statements are "[defamation per se](https://definitions.uslegal.com/d/defamation-per-se/)."
