Appeal from an amended judgment of the Supreme Court (Cobb, J.), entered July 20, 1987 in Columbia County, upon a verdict rendered in favor of plaintiff.
Plaintiff commenced this action for damages alleging, inter alia, that he was defamed by defendants’ statements to State and Columbia County officials and his employers concerning claims of sexual and physical abuse of defendant Edward T. Silvernail’s children and diversion of drugs from plaintiff’s place of employment. Subsequent investigations revealed no basis to sustain any of the claims.
