Your post as written is a little difficult to follow but, if I understand you correctly, you have been accused through text messages and on Facebook of having improper relations with a child?

If this is what you are saying, you can take what has been published about you and seek out a personal review of the facts by an attorney in your area - this if you feel that your reputation has been severely harmed in your community by what has been published. With false accusations of child molestation, some reputational injury will be presumed.

Good luck.

I agree with this, but if the people who made the accusations are people on SSI, then they are judgment proof and you will not get an attorney to take the case, because even if you win, you won't be able to collect any money from them. SSI cannot be garnished. However, depending on what all they actually did (and sorry, it was not very clear to me at all) you might want to have a chat with the police to make sure that a crime was not committed.

It wasn't clear to me if the boyfriend (who I believe was the only one who published falsehoods about majorseddie?) was one of those living in majorseddie's house. I understood that the boyfriend lived elsewhere.

The police were already contacted at least once, coming out to the house on a domestic violence call. It also appears items belonging to majorseddie were taken and sold but I am not sure if the police were contacted about that. At any rate, it appears a report was made to the police for the domestic violence and no arrest was made. Yet. With the period placed where it was placed, I am not sure to which sentence the "yet" belongs.

I am not sure whose child was in the photos, or why the photos were taken, or when or where.

At any rate, there is a lot that is not clear in majorseddie's post. Perhaps he can sit down with an attorney in his area and the attorney can make sense of it all. Because majorseddie's last activity on this forum was on June 14, we may never get the clarification we need to understand his situation.
