Post: Defamation of Character?

Posted by Jacki on 9/14/05
My question is this: There is a man in town who is quite upset with my husband and another person here for a few reasons...On my husbands part it's because he took this other person to small claims for money owed to him for work my husband had done...the other person is because he is an ex-business partner of this individual and was there to back my husband up with the situation, long story short the individual ended up having to pay my husband the money owed. We just found out the other day that this individual showed up at my husbands place of employment with two police officers and went to someone, I'm assuming, they thought was in charge over my husbands department...anyway, he showed up there saying my husband and this other individual were stealing money and embezzeling from funds made at football games etc. The claims were 100% false, and everyone involved knew this the minute he walked into the office however this does not make things ok w/my husband or this other individual. There is paperwork and documentation showing everything down to the dime, and the company said not to worry about it. Our question is, do we have any rights as far as his false accusations and malicious actions to try and destroy two peoples lives and careers? Like I said, there is no truth to anything this person claimed and they have been told by their company that there is nothing to worry about and they know the alligations were made to try and intentionally hurt them.
