Please help. Slander/Perjury.
What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? Texas.
Okay, here's the deal. I'm in college and a friend of mine (we've been friends for seven years) and I got in an argument. She took some articles of clothing of mine from my apartment and then lied about having them and refused to give them back. She threatened to burn them, etc. I have pictures of her wearing my clothes after she told me that she didn't have them. So, the day that the took them I called and asked for them back. She refused and cursed at me. I got upset and told her that'd I'd kick her ass if I didn't get my clothing back by 8pm. She called the University Police and told them that I threatened to kill her because she wouldn't come to my apartment and talk to me about my ex-boyfriend (don't know where she got that one from). She filed a report with this officer saying that I've hit her before, tried to kill her, am a heavy drug user/drinker, smoke pot and do drugs in my apartment with my roomates and friends, cut myself, and a lot of other bull**** that isn't true. None of this has any basis at all. I have never, ever touched drugs or imbibed alcohol. She does, however. She signed a legal statement saying that this is true and now it is on record with my University and she is pressing charges for Terroristic Threat. I did threaten to kick her ass, but she told the police that I threatened to gut her and kill her. Everything in the police report is completely untrue. But, this is now on my disciplinary record and I could get kicked out of school for it. Also, I think that it will remain on my record regardless, and will therefore hurt me if I try to transfer schools later. I have pictures of her drinking (she's 18), she is a compulsive liar, and has obviously poor character. Everyone that knows me knows that I am adamately against drugs and alcohol and have never touched them. Nor have I ever cut myself or hit her.
Do I have a case of slander/libel whatever.. It's on a police document so, it's written, but not published, but schools will have access to it.
What about perjury? If I can prove that everything she said in that report is a lie then what happens?
How do I go about proving that? Are witnesses testifying enough? She has absolutely no proof against me, or any witnesses for her defense.
What are my chances of winning this in court? Is it even worth my time?
Please help
