Upon information and belief, false and defamatory statements against Ross Glick have been posted online in various sources such as New York Post and Palestinian News Network. It must be stated unequivocally that Ross Glick is not a sex criminal. He has never been convicted of a crime and any statements to the opposite are legally actionable and will not be tolerated.

To be clear, Ross Glick has never been convicted of any crime, let alone a sex crime. Any claims to the contrary are outright falsehoods and constitute defamation, which include libel and slander. Furthermore, Mr. Glick’s co-parent, referenced in the erroneous New York Post article is the mother of his third child. Unfortunately, they both admit that they were in a toxic relationship. Although it was a long-term relationship that unfortunately became contentious at times, Mr. Glick’s co-parent acknowledges that she is not the victim of any crime. In fact, they have since reconciled and are peacefully co-parenting their child together. Not only was the New York Post article a sensationalized hit peace and deceptive narrative, but it is blatantly false without proper fact checking by the journalist. The article’s author is not a reputable journalist and did not conduct any independent investigation into the facts. The journalist never reached out to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office for verification, nor did she attempt to contact Glick’s attorney for a statement. This lack of due diligence is not journalism—it is reckless, agenda-driven defamation targeting a successful Jewish businessman.

Any “revenge porn” charges were immediately dismissed at Glick’s arraignment. In fact, all criminal charges were dismissed. The only remaining charge that Mr. Glick faced was the non- criminal violation of harassment in the second degree. Harassment in the second degree in New York is a violation that involves intentionally harassing, annoying, or alarming another person. It is a violation, not a crime, and the maximum penalty is 15 days in jail and a $250 fine. This is the legal equivalent to a parking ticket – violence and sex are nowhere to be found in the legal definition of harassment.

Moreover, this resolution was agreed upon by all parties, including Mr. Glick’s co-parent. The resolution of this matter was not an admission of wrongdoing, but rather a pragmatic resolution to avoid unnecessary legal costs and further distress for their child and family. Instead of allowing a family to reconcile, malicious online actors are spreading defamatory misinformation, including images of their children and inciting violence towards them.

In Dillon v City of New York, 261 AD2d 34, 38, 704 NYS2d 1 (1999), New York Courts held that defamation requires that the defendant made a false statement, published to a third party without authorization, the defendant was at least negligent when making the statement, and the statement caused special harm or constituted “defamation per se.” Furthermore, any statement charging Mr. Glick with a serious crime such as revenge porn or any sex crime is automatically “defamation per se”. The false online posts clearly fulfill the elements of defamation under New York law. You must stop endangering Mr. Glick’s family while inciting harassment and violence. Any individual engaging in such behavior is participating in targeted harassment and child endangerment.
 

This statement serves as an official and final legal warning to all individuals, social media users, and media outlets engaged in spreading defamatory, slanderous, and dangerous lies about Ross Glick:

• Ross Glick will aggressively pursue defamation lawsuits against anyone continuing to publish, share, or promote false claims about him.
• Any threats, harassment, or doxxing—including the use of images of his children—will be referred to law enforcement.
• We will pursue all appropriate action for those responsible.

*If you have shared or posted defamatory content, remove it immediately to avoid legal consequences.
