Clayton Pruett says he’s been fighting to get his name and reputation back. He says he knows it won’t be the same, but he is out to prove that he did nothing wrong.
His family is behind him and he wants people to know how serious it is when allegations of sex abuse are brought to police.
Pruett says he believes the teen and her mother brought the charge against him to get back at him for trying to discipline the teen.
Pruett is suing the mother of the accuser for slander and libel.
