NCAA basketball referee John Higgins sues Kentucky-based media company (PS; Waters)
John Higgins, a college basketball referee, has filed a lawsuit against a Kentucky-based media company for its role in thousands of threats he received from Kentucky fans last March, according to an exclusive report on TheAthletic.com.
Higgins filed the civil suit on Tuesday in federal court against Kentucky Sports Radio after he and family members were harassed following an NCAA Tournament game he worked in March. The harassment came after Higgins worked Kentucky's loss to North Carolina in a regional final.
The suit alleges that Kentucky Sports Radio shared Higgins' personal and business information online and on the radio. Higgins received thousands of threats from irate Kentucky fans. Law enforcement agencies investigated some of the death threats left on his voicemail. In addition, Higgins' business received thousands of negative online reviews.
The suit alleges that Kentucky Sports Radio operators Matt Jones and Drew Franklin provided information on Higgins' business, including its website, on their radio show.
Jones dismissed the lawsuit on his Twitter page.

On Monday high-powered criminal defense attorney Jeffrey Lichtman got to work by making a statement to the Los Angeles Times, saying that the allegations were "heartbreaking on many levels" and "this whole thing has been absolutely devastating to his family."
Lichtman has worked previous defending gangster John Gotti and drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman. Lichtman has also represented rapper Fat Joe and Kristin Davis, the madam who supplied prostitutes to former New York governor Eliot Spitzer.
Lichtman's website uses the Gotti trial to promote his efforts noting his work in the "nearly two month federal trial which ended with the dismissal of three murder conspiracy charges, an acquittal on a $25 million securities fraud charge and a deadlocked jury on all remaining counts."
His ability to get an acquittal in the Gotti trial was considered a display of excellent legal work by law experts.
