According to the story an innocent mans photo was used on Nexstar's owned sites and TV Stations while they were going after another person for the allegations.
Nexstar is being sued by a South Carolina man who says one of its stations falsely represented him as "an accused child predator."
Douglas Turner claims Nexstar-owned WSPA used his photo instead of the suspect's on air and in a story shared on the station's website and Facebook page.
Turner alleges the article and TV story were published "with malice or with reckless disregard for the truth."
According to the lawsuit, Turner's reputation was damaged and he's "endured mental anguish and emotional distress, humiliation, embarrassment, inconvenience, discomfort, and he has been deprived of the enjoyment of life..."
