Random guy gets accused of rape in false Facebook post gone viral

What would you do if some random dude approached you in a park, demanding you leave because "you shouldn’t be around here, this is a kids’ area, you're a rapist"? That’s apparently what happened to Chad Lesko of Toledo, Ohio, who insists he’s no rapist — just the victim of a fraudulent Facebook update that went viral. It traces back to a post allegedly made by "Nicole McCarthy" (Lesko thinks it’s a fake account created by the mother of his child).

The post featured a photo of Lesko with a waing message saying he's wanted on four counts of rape. Only problem is, he’s not — and, according to Toledo News Now, the police confirm that. "Nicole McCarthy" then sent a message to Toledo Free Press apologizing for the "false accusations" before deleting her account.
