Connecticut.
We have a situation where a member of our family that is married to a local politician goes around telling other family members and 3rd parties that we are drug dealers and drug addicts. This is of course untrue. They make these allegations to local police and others that result in being pulled over by police and children to be kicked out of their homes by their parents. We both work in the education field and this could be very detremental to our careers.
It would be difficult to prove the police harassment as the connection with the former town councilman would be well covered.
As for the other people they have spread these rumors to, We have to constantly take phone calls defending ourselves to friends family and former family.
I would like to know what recourse I can take to end this abuse of power and spread of untruths.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
