Legal definition of deformation - The publication of any false imputation concerning a person, or a member of his family, whether living or dead, by which (a) the reputation of that person is likely to be injured or (b) he is likely to be injured in his profession or trade or (c) other persons are likely to be induced to shun, avoid, ridicule or despise him. She can take action against the paper for damaging the reputation offer dead father, even if there's no financial loss. She can also claim that inaccurately painting a picture of her father as a ****phile would also obviously impact on her.
I wasn't aware that anyone had painted "a picture of her father as a *****phile". Rather, it has been claimed that he was there/ stood by/ did nothing/ said nothing. A bit like many others who appear to have been in the know....
