Blogger 119 ordered to hide seven videos in widow’s defamation case

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Controversial blogger Milton “119” Wray has lost an early skirmish in the defamation battle with Patrice Hussey-Malcolm, widow of broadcaster Dervan Malcolm. The Supreme Court has ordered Wray to make seven videos on his YouTube channel unavailable to the public.

Justice Tara Carr granted interim relief without objection at an October 15 hearing attended by both parties. Wray represented himself, while attorney Mikhail H R Williams appeared for Hussey-Malcolm.

Under the order, Wray must make the seven videos—and any copies, edits or re-uploads—private within 24 hours of being served. He must also take all steps within his power to disable their further distribution pending determination of the claim.
