INAL, but two things obviously are wrong with your post:

(1) This case is in civil court. This is not a criminal case, so the police probably weren't involved.

(2) If someone was caught writing libel on bathroom walls, the person being libeled would have grounds to sue.

The internet is new ("virgin" somehow doesn't seem appropriate here) technology, but laws still apply. Weaving campaigns of lies against individuals is punishable in civil court. A person is naive if they think they automatically can say anything they want on the internet, without accountability. Unless you take serious precautions (pay cash at random internet cafes?), your IP address is recorded, and you can be tracked.
