Today I learned that a person has a legal right for his or her past to be forgotten, as in, a person has a legal right to leave a past that one wishes to forget.
So evidently there is grounds to sue anyone who publicly brings up your youthful indiscretions or missteps.
This is very valuable information.
It's based on a ruling by the state of California's Appellate court made in 1931 regarding the case of Melvin V. Reid.
The ruling basically states that a person who has turned themselves around after a life of inappropriate, illicit or immoral behavior has a right to happiness that includes not being unnecessarily publicly harassed or shamed, attacked, etc.
Very valuable information indeed.
