I assume you've already called the Fishwatch Hotline to notify the QBFP?

Waynero, curious as to how you would know the names?

I think you would be in legal hot water unless they had been convicted in the courts.

If it has gone before a before a court, then it would be on public record.
Provided you only report facts that were brought up in the court case you would be doing no more than the newspapers do.
If your mate said this or you heard down the pub he has done something, and you reported it, then you would be quoting heresay. If unproven and he knows who you are , then he could have a case for slander. # #:-/
