anonymous on 14 Jun 13Oswego -- An Oswego city councilor has filed a lawsuit against SUNY Oswego's student-run newspaper, The Oswegonian, after the newspaper mistakenly identified him as a registered sex offender. Councilor Mike Todd, R-3rd Ward, filed the court action after The Oswegonian published a news story identifying him as a registered sex offender and co-owner of a taxi company. Todd is neither. The suit alleges that the newspaper made a "false and defamatory statement" causing Todd "financial loss, ridicule and public humiliation."
