Caught in a Lie

The plaintiff says she met the defendant online, and he moved in a week after they began dating. She says he took off when she got pregnant, and his new girlfriend even threatened her and their daughter. She’s suing him for a loan, stolen money, and emotional distress. The defendant denies owing the plaintiff any money and alleges the plaintiff’s son is the one who stole from her. He’s countersuing for defamation.
