What is the name of your state? Colorado
I am a member of a 42 Homeowners Assoc.(HOA) and on September 3, 2006 another HOA member alleged that I criminally trespassed his property two different times and threatened my arrest. He made this allegation via a post-script on an e-mail response to the current HOA Board of Directors on his covenant violation and copied it to the other 41 HOA members. In his post-script he alleges that I, Vice President of the HOA at the time, committed criminally trespass in 1999 onto his property when I reviewed his exterior paint color. The second trespass allegation was that I took a picture, on Oct. 7, 2006, of his residence for lack of maintenance from his property. Both allegations are false because as a Board member I was permitted to access the property to review and approve his exterior paint. Second, I took the picture from the street in from of his residence and not from his property. I have now been libeled as a "trespasser" because he sent his allegations by e-mail to the other 41 HOA members. What should I do to clear my name, humiliation and embarrassment resulting from his allegations?
