New Orleans’ mayor accused her of stalking. Now she’s filed a $1 million defamation suit
Associated PressNEW ORLEANS — A New Orleans woman once accused of stalking by Mayor LaToya Cantrell turned the tables Friday with a $1 million-plus federal lawsuit accusing Cantrell, her chief of staff and eight members of the city police department of civil rights violations and defamation. It also claims Cantrell’s chief of staff and members of the police department improperly accessed state and federal information on Breaud. The city also declined comment in a release from Cantrell’s press secretary, saying its position would be made public in court filings answering the lawsuit. The lawsuit seeks a court finding that Cantrell and the other defendants violated Breaud’s civil rights and her Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure, violated federal privacy and computer fraud laws, and violated Fourth Amendment defamation.
