Batavia woman can’t be sued for fake online relationship
An Illinois Supreme Court ruling this week will not allow a California woman to sue a Batavia woman for deceiving her in an 18-month online relationship.
The court found that plaintiff Paula Bonhomme of Los Angeles cannot sue Janna St. James-Priggie, 59, who lives on the 800 block of Washington Street in Batavia. Bonhomme filed suit first in Cook County, then in Kane County in 2008, seeking $100,000 in punitive damages.
