Paul's Defamation Lawsuit Legal Fund

My name is Paul. 3 and a half years ago I had a consensual one night stand that resulted in the birth of my daughter. Until last December I was unaware that the mother had filed a police report more than 6 months after my daughter was born claiming I had raped her and I had threatened to kill her if she talked about it. I was completely surprised by the allegations because the mother and I had been in contact this whole time and she had not once mentioned that she had filed this report. Up to this point, she had been in constant contact with me through text and telephone, sending me suggestive messages and pictures, and trying to start a relationship with me. The only reason I found out that she was accusing me of rape was because I found a paper admitted as evidence in our paternity case that she had turned into the Department of Revenue where she named me as rapist instead of father. Even during our hearing, she didn't mention that she was accusing me of rape! My girlfriend at the time went down to the Sherriff's Office in our county and was able to get the police report by just giving my name, she didn't even have to show ID. It was then that I first became aware of the very serious accusation my daughter's mother had made. I immediately went down to the Sherriff's Office myself and asked what I could do to contest the allegations (I was ready to defend myself right away since I can prove that the events as she described could not have happened and that the act was consensual by both parties). They informed me that the case was closed because she had not cooperated with the detectives assigned to the case and that there was nothing I could do since I was never officially charged. I was upset since the report was out there for anyone to see and I couldn't even include my side of the story but they said it wasn't that easy for anyone to obtain, to which I replied, my girlfriend got a copy very easily. They said that was a fluke, it was a confidential report. Since that time, I have been able to get a copy 3 times, each time without showing any kind of ID. They also assured me that since the case was closed, the mother could not use it against me in court or to keep my daughter from me. At the end of last year, the mother stopped communicating with me when I asked for more time with my daughter. I was advised to send her a letter asking to see my daughter as was my right and call the Sherriff's Office to do a welfare check on my daughter. The day after I asked for the welfare check, I was served with a temporary injunction for sexual violence. The mother had gone down to the Court House and claimed that I kept texting her, calling her, having my wife send her letters, and sending cops to her house even though she had allegedly made it very clear she wanted nothing to do with her rapist. Up to this point, she had never once said to me in person that she accused me of rape, she had actually even brought my daughter to visit me at my house several times and invited me to come along to doctor's appointments, her birthday party, dinners and Thanksgiving. Again, I was not able to defend myself in court because she didn't show up for the hearing on the injunction, costing me $500 in attorney's fees and no resolution. At this point, my only recourse is a civil suit against her for defamation for all her false statements, which are public record and every one can look at. All I want is to clear my name and hopefully recoup from her the money that I have lost from work when I stopped getting jobs as a contractor from the only client I had left at the end of last year when the head of the HOA found the injunction on the County website and the money I spent on the attorney for the hearing which she didn't show up for.  I am the furthest from a rapist as I could be, I can prove that, I can prove my innocence, and I can even prove her statements are false and planned.  If I thought I could do so legally I would add to this the original police report she made and the following statements included in that report, they alone prove my case as what she claims is not physically possible.  She also failed to remember there was someone who watched her enter the room and leave and could hear us as well.  I also have quite a bit of proof of more then a dozen different occasions that she has purposefully lied on court documents.  Despite having clear proof of this no one in law enforcement nor the court system seems to care, despite it being on every paper that there is a penalty for lying on official documents.  I have been told that should be part of my civil suit against her as well.   I hope if anyone takes the time to read this they understand this is not something I do just for myself but also for my little girl, and any female out there that is a true victim, because people like her make it harder for the real victims to get justice.  This is why I have put this in the catagory of abuse of power, because that is exactly what is going on here, and it is these kinds of abuse that undermine the entire system for everyone.
