Court of Common Pleas Judge R. Stanton Wettick, Jr. ordered information about the posters be turned over to the township supervisor, who claimed in a lawsuit filed last November that the anonymous comments accusing him of corruption impugned his reputation. The American Civil Liberties Union, which interceded on the online bulletin board's behalf, released the six bloggers' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses to DeRosa's counsel, which will enable the supervisor to petition the posters' respective Internet Service Providers to release the names.
The ACLU does not plan to appeal Judge Wettick's ruling.
