A Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article reports that a former Beaver County school district security guard filed a lawsuit against Marty Griffin, a KDKA-TV investigative reporter and a local private investigator for defamation and invasion of privacy.

James A. Law Jr., claims that a television report misrepresented his criminal history. He also claims that the report quoted private investigator Louis W. Gentile, with the firm, Gentile, Meinert and Associates, and that it included unsubstantiated and false statements.
