You right I keep on forgetting your law is somehow different from ours here in Scandinavia.
Here Alex would have stand trial in an ordinary court-Criminal case.
I guess he would have been accused of defamation(Trying to find the English word for Injurier, which is more accurate than defamation)
I copied following from Danish Criminal law
Quote:
Libel is a term for defamation and covers e.g. over derogatory and insulting statements or actions towards other persons.
It is illegal to make or disseminate libelous or defamatory statements about others in public. This means that you must neither violate the name or reputation of others, nor hang people out on social media and accuse them of actions that they have not committed.

Well forgot the next most important about jail.
Here a person who is convicted and can't pay-Will be prisoner and the state will pay the money to the victim.
