A federal lawsuit alleging Kathryn Knott, her father and members of
the Bucks County District Attorney's Office conspired to
retaliate against a Montgomery County woman who posted mocking Internet
comments can proceed, U.S. District Judge Mitchell S. Goldberg ruled
last week.
Goldberg declined to dismiss the lawsuit filed last year by Kathleen
O'Donnell, a Norristown resident who used the screen name "Knotty is a
Tramp" to post disparaging remarks about Knott in the comment sections
of online news articles. O'Donnell's username included an unflattering
picture of Knott drinking from a bottle of alcohol.
O'Donnell claims Kathryn Knott and her father, Karl, used his then-position as Chalfont police chief to retaliate against her,
alleging they conspired with former Bucks County District Attorney
David Heckler and two county detectives to threaten criminal charges.
Heckler left office in September 2016, a year before his second term was
to end.
