   DENVER –  A man who was quickly branded a "selfie stalker" after   
   his picture turned up on a crime victim's cellphone is suing   
   television commentator Nancy Grace for defamation.   
      
   In a lawsuit filed Monday in Denver, Ben Seibert says Grace, who   
   hosts a show on Turner Broadcasting's HLN network, refused to   
   stop airing his photo, even after police had cleared him of any   
   wrongdoing.   
      
   Police have said the victim was fearful because she believed   
   Seibert's picture had been taken inside her home. But further   
   investigation showed it was his Facebook photo taken elsewhere.   
      
   On her show, Grace called the photo a "textbook serial killer's   
   calling card." The suit, which seeks more than $100,000 in   
   damages, says Grace humiliated and harmed Seibert.   
      
   Turner Broadcasting did not immediately return calls seeking   
   comment.
