Re: Ray Guhn Pleads Guilty
It appears that Walters loves that "Just plead guilty" defense. One of his first Adult Internet cases was with Barbie from blondflasher.com. Her original site was barbieflashes.com and Mattel sent her a cease and desist. She talked to Walters (and paid him a lot of money) who said that Mattel had no real case and wouldn't do anything. Well, she got sued and Walters told her to plead guilty and she had a $5K judgment against her. He didn't even try to develop any sort of defense. She also paid him all sorts of money for that one too!
The thing was it should have been an easy case as she could prove that "Barbie" had been her nickname since she was a child and she always used it. She had no tie-ins to the Barbie doll at all.
