A newspaper reported incorrectly. They showed my name, age and address in the recent court cases in my county. I live in a small village of 12,000 people. Now all the people that read this believe i did this crime...and it was not me. it was someone else with a similar name, different age. it was somekind of sexual assault case. How could a newspaper get this so mixed up? I am imbarrassed, and humilated. My buddy is a police man, he found it online today and told me about it. Is this newspaper liable for damages such as: defamation of character, causing me humiliation and distress? This is a nightmare for me. I know I will contact a lawyer tommorrow. I am so upset, i was hoping someone out here had some ideas. My name is ruined now over this...i already had 2 freinds email me today and ask what did i do! these are my best freinds since kindergarten...can you imagine what everyone else is thinking?
