She "agrees with Todd that there are two types of defamatory messages at issue: Lovecruft’s statements that Todd sexually assaulted and/or raped someone other than Lovecruft, and Lovecruft’s 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/)." Because "Todd has not made a prima facie showing that Lovecruft failed to use reasonable care in accusing Todd of raping or sexually assaulting someone other than Lovecruft," they granted the motion to strike regarding those statements. However, "the motion is denied as to Lovecruft’s personal accusation against Todd in the Fourth Statement."
