What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? North Carolina
A former friend and I had a problem over a girl (I know sounds childish...) she was practically my girlfriend but he kept trying to cheat on his girlfriend with her and she pushed him away, so he got mad. But anyways.. he found out that I was going to be in Paris at the same time she was and sent me a message saying that there was no way that would happen and "over my dead body". This all happened on the 18th. On the 22nd I got a call from his mother saying that on the 19th a briefcase had been broken into and 500-800 dollars was stolen, and that she had strong evidence I was there. She said someone who she wouldn't name in the family said they saw me coming out of her room when it happened, which is impossible because I hadn't been in the house since the night of the 18th. Of course she had no more evidence than that. On top of all that he started telling people that I had for sure stolen the money, and he told them that they had mountains of evidence against me even up to surveillance cameras catching me on tape, and every time he told the story it got more and more outrageous. Last I had heard I had apparently stolen 6,000 dollars out of a safe in his mothers room, along with even more evidence that they supposedly had against me but I know for sure they don't have. Of course all this has damaged my reputation as one of my other friends parents heard about this and even said that I was not to associate with him because of this. I looked up slander law and it seems like I would have a strong case for slander...right?
PS we are both 18, so neither of us is a minor if that matters...
