A librarian has sued several parents who complained about porn in the library, claiming they defamed her.
The librarian, Roxana Russo Caivano, says in the lawsuit a public campaign against her was begun after an LGBTQ book was challenged by community members.
The dispute was over the "graphic novel," "Gender Queer: A Memoir," and other publications that members of the community have criticized as sexually explicit.
The book that explores "gender identity and sexuality," according to the report, had been cited as a problem, and Caivano was on a committee that decided it should stay in the library.
Now Caivano claims in her legal action against parents that she was labeled a "child predator" and was accused of "luring" children with porn.
The comments reportedly came in a forum for parents.

Parent Thomas Seritis equated the book, and others defended by Caivano, as "hard-core pornography…"
Caivano's husband filed the complaint on behalf of his wife, and named Zeritis, Christina Scarbrough Balestriere, Kristen Cobo and Katrina Albo as defendants.
Caivano's husband claims his wife was accused of "luring" children and that she had "endangered" them because of the offending books in the library.
The blog posting, SafeLibraries, run by publisher Dan Kleinman, claimed that the librarian was promoting the challenged books with an "enticing 'banned books' display."
The parents, represented by First Amendment lawyer Corinne Mullen, have asked the case be dismissed as frivolous.
"Parents should have the right to have a voice in whether their children should be exposed to sexualized content in the books chosen by public school employees," Mullen explained.
"This lawsuit inhibits open and robust debate on the issues as we as a nation must face on the appropriateness of content to which our children are exposed."
Lawsuits often are used to intimidate parents into not challenging school actions, such as in this case.
The fight of library content has become a common one across America, as parents, often because they were exposed to their schools' teaching materials and methods during COVID online classes, have started objecting to the hypersexualized books in many libraries, where they openly promote the LGBT ideology in violation of families' beliefs.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Although millions of American parents send their precious children off to public school every day, imagining their kids’ days will be filled with reading, writing, arithmetic, science, history, sports and music, they’re not only in for a shock – but for total BETRAYAL. Today’s “public” (government) schools have become far-left ideological, political and religious indoctrination centers aimed at reprogramming and transforming America’s children.
Kids are being taught to HATE their own country and to see themselves and their parents as racists – or victims of racists. They are sexualized and corrupted, and many are groomed into the dark LGBT world, with almost 6,000 schools prohibiting parents from even hearing about their child’s transgender “transition.” In between all the far-left indoctrination and sexual corruption, teachers take time to scare children to death about the near-term end of life on earth due to “catastrophic climate change.” Another lie. But it’s all classic Marxism/communism, with even the “3 R’s” – reading, writing and arithmetic – now being corrupted with “woke,” “1984”-style madness.
Perhaps never has the true threat of today’s U.S. public school system been exposed as in the sensational April issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled “THE GREATEST BETRAYAL: How Marxism and madness have taken over America’s public school system.” Whistleblower is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
