Original Note:
Calling someone a pedophile is defamatory ONLY if the statement is false & made with the knowledge that it's false or with reckless disregard for the truth. This usage is not actionable as it was (i) a pejorative insult & not a factual claim, or (ii) believed by the author. https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/defamation
