What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NJ
I worked for a school district for over a year and my ex called the superintendent who was my boss at the time and told him I had porn on my work laptops. We broke up over the weekend and the following Monday I arrive to work to find my boss and the vice principal in my office going through my desktop. The local police confiscated my work desktop and laptop. Nothing was found but since this was a K-8 district I had to resign. A few months later I applied and was offered a job at another district and like a dumb ass I left my ex's contact info on the online application and when they called her she told them I "look at child porn and shouldn't be around children". Again, because this is how schools operate they declined the job offer because "they can't hire someone who may have this kind of background", whether it's true or not. I applied to another district and had an interview lined up and the superintendent from the first district I mentioned above called me letting me know someone called the potential school with the interview and pretended to be someone from my old boss's' school bad mouthing me. My boss told me no one from his school had called. If I ever do get another job working for a school district all info including employment, salary etc. is public information and anyone can just google my name and find out where I work. I'm not sure what actions I can take to finally put a stop to all this or who to call. She is spreading lies and ruining my life. I have child support to pay and all the usual bills. I like what I do and just want to move on with my life. Any advice on this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
