    How can u sue for defamation of character?
    I have been dealing with several employees coming up to me asking questions about a certain female employee.the upper mgt. Put out a memo stating how long me and her were in the storage room together. Well since then all types of employees have been talking. It seems as if the mgt. Have spread a rumor about me on the job. I'm a married man and have no dealings with her except for being work related. Do I have a suit?

    Your understandible reluctance to clearly specify what is being said about you makes it difficult to answer your question. You have been rumored to have engaged in sexual relations with this woman during work? If this is what you are telling us, it is doubtful that you have a case. How have you been damaged? Has your wife left you? Have yuu lost your job or lost a chance for promotion, for example?
