A Norfolk Superior Court judge yesterday ordered Deborah May to stop spreading false rumors that a neighbor in their Norwood apartment complex is a pedophile, stop screaming anti-gay epithets at him and stop filing false complaints with the local police department about him, the state Attorney General's office reports.

The state successfully sought a civil-rights injunction against May for her activities, which allegedly started in November of 2007. The injunction orders May to cease all communications with the man and his family and to stay at least 500 feet away from his workplace.
