BOSTON, Aug. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- John B. Wilson, who has pled not guilty in the so-called "Varsity Blues," and his family have won a significant procedural victory before Boston federal Judge Mark L. Wolf, after a hearing during which the judge commented that the Wilsons' defamation claim is viable.  Among other claims, the Wilsons claim that Netflix falsely portrayed Johnny Wilson as a fake athlete when in fact, he was an accomplished water polo player who joined the USC water polo team after he was admitted to the university. Netflix argued in Court yesterday that its film was a fair report of the official proceedings against John Wilson, an argument the Court commented yesterday from the bench that it tentatively intended to reject, allowing the case to proceed in state court. 

Key Points: 
  • Netflix argued in Court yesterday that its film was a fair report of the official proceedings against John Wilson, an argument the Court commented yesterday from the bench that it tentatively intended to reject, allowing the case to proceed in state court.
  • Due to misleading reporting, Judge comments that Wilsons' defamation claim against Netflix is viable.
  • The morning following the hearing, Netflix stipulated that the case will be remanded back to state court as the Wilsons had requested.
  • The case, Civil Action No.1:21-CV-10894-MLW, is being handled by Todd & Weld LLP.
