Charles Carreon

Since successfully litigating the Sex.Com case, Charles Carreon has worked steadily in the domain name recovery field, recovering Hardcore.com and Milfhunters.com, and defending the owners of domains including Kazaalite.com and Arthrostim.com from UDRP proceedings and US District Court lawsuits.

In August 2002, Charles obtained a $306,500 jury verdict in Benson v. State of Oregon. The Portland, Oregon jury awarded $300,000 for the emotional distress suffered by his client Roger Benson, who spent 43 days in jail after the Oregon State Police ID Section falsely delivered computer misinformation to California police, misidentifying Mr. Benson as a violent three-time felon. In 2004 the Oregon Appeals Court reversed the verdict for Mr. Benson in an opinion that affirmed the validity of his claim, but objected to a judicial ruling at the close of trial. Mr. Benson was forced to settle the case after the appellate reversal for a fraction of the total verdict. Mr. Benson’s story will be the subject of a book tentatively titled The Man That Justice Eluded.
