As you say you are branding a person a pervert without a successful win in court.
As I said it would need a lawyer to look at it. Telling people the truth, that they illegally uploaded porn to a Torrent site, it not violating their privacy. It's news worthy. You let the reader make up his own mind on what the person is.
