What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? ny
I was verbally accused of committing crimes I did not do (bogus claims, I believe in order to force me to settle a small claims suit so I do not proceed with a judgment) by a defendant: stalking, criminal harassment, threatening her safety. the judge at the hearing (not the trial judge) now thinks a police report has been filed and i am facing criminal charges, but she didn't even file a police report (which she admitted a few minutes after leaving the room). I want to sue her for slander, do you have any information that could help me with this?
Can she be held in contempt of court for lying?
Do I need to demand retraction to collect damages for slander?
There must be something to protect people from serious accusations?
She is calling my contact of her facebook friends (through a very friendly email) harrassment, and my repeated contact to her to collect my money and my insults by email "harrassment" and she implied I was facing criminal charges as a result of a police report that she claim she filed.
