By Megan Gallegos

DENVER (CN) – TV personality Nancy Grace defamed a man by claiming he left \”a textbook serial killer\’s calling card\” at a woman\’s home, though he was nowhere near the place, the man claims in court.
Benjamin Seibert sued Nancy Grace, Turner Broadcasting Systems and Crime Stoppers, on Monday in Denver County Court. He seeks punitive damages for defamation, privacy invasion and outrage.
Grace is known for her appearances on cable TV as a legal expert and for her show \”Nancy Grace\” on Turner Broadcasting\’s Headline News Channel.
Seibert claims that Grace defamed him on the air after a January incident that led police to suspect for two days that he may have broken into a woman\’s home.
\”On January 29, 2014, a mother in Denver put her children to bed and returned to her kitchen. There she found a picture of an unidentified man on her cell phone. She assumed that the picture was a \’selfie\’ taken by an intruder and called police,\” the complaint states.
