Well in the normal course of events a petition isn't secret - its generally taken that the point of a petition is that people are publicly putting their name to a common cause/belief. Obviously people have signed this in the hope of some action, but if the person isn't a known sex offender/already under suspicion with the police then this amounts to slander/defamation doesn't it? You get some good ones don't you!
