Defamation And Legal Rights

Summary

False statements that damage someones reputation can be considered defamation. In Colorado, defamation can be either libel (written) or slander (spoken). If accused, document all evidence, issue a cease-and-desist letter, and consider consulting a lawyer. If you cant afford a lawyer, seek help from legal aid organizations. Texting a minor isnt inherently illegal, but inappropriate content can lead to legal issues. If arrested, you have the right to remain silent, request legal counsel, and challenge the evidence in court.

Full Conversation

In light of the allegations against me, I will made a public statement: I understand there is a lack of trust because of what seems to the public as a lack of transparency. Therefore, I want to be as open and transparent as I can. I feel the situation was taken out of context. My name is **** **** also known as Tre. I grew up here in Las Animas Colorado. And I hope to bring entertainment to the people of Las Animas Colorado and bring good to the community. I did not have sexual relations or intentions towards a minor of any kind. It was an unfortunate situation where I went out and partied with people both male and female. And there were unfortunately underage people there. Which I understand is irresponsible. I met this girl. I misunderstood her age initially. I did not advance on her in any way. After I understood she was underage. We kept in contact. I made it clear I didn't want any of that. Then shortly after cut off all contact. I have also partied with this anonymous user in the past. This makes me extremely frustrated. Because I am not the only underage drinker in this town, but yet the only one who is held accountable. And I don't want to hurt anybody. I want to help the community. This is why I'm active in this group, trying to wash cars, cut lawns, or do something. Because even though I get money from it, I get more satisfaction knowing I helped my customer. And then I get to bring music to the town, which I want more of. That also brings me joy. I want more country music. I want more hip-hop music. (HOPEFULLY, ON A VOLUME DECIBLE WE CAN ALL AGREE ON?!?!) The allegations against me from this anonymous user who will remain nameless. A former friend and artist who has worked with me and Stace on multiple occasions such as the show we had in March. I am aware of the allegations made by an anonymous individual. I have offered to resolve this matter through proper channels, including in person or court, rather than through anonymous accusations. I am not the man the anonymous user makes me out to be and I told him multiple times we can settle it in person or court. Just not behind a screen.
