Sexual Harrasment?
I am 17 years old
There is this 40+ year old man that is telling all my friends and his that we had sex alot.
I know who he is kinda but I have never even actually talked to the guy before.
I have told my friends to ask him to stop saying stuff but its just getting worse.
He's saying that he pimped me and we had sex all the time and now even his girlfriend who is also in her 40's is causing me problems.
Is there some sort of legal action I can take?

yeah. call 911 and tell the police your situation. then have all your freids talk to police but before all that tell your parents or legal gardians what is going on. if you want legal action than thats what you gotta do

Talk to an attorney. It would seem you have cause for a slander action. The thing is if the guy doesn't really have any money a lot of attorneys are going to refuse to take your case. You could also seek a restraining order against him.
Unfortunately, he hasn't really done anything criminal. You should probably file a complaint with the police just in case anyway and report it as harassment and maybe they will send somebody to talk to him. Or maybe they will get curious enough to execute a search warrant to check to see if he has a stash of child porn. But that is up the discretion of the local DA and cops.
You could also call Child Protective Services in your area and see if they could be any help.

Xenolan's advise is excellent advice I would urge you to follow it. Depending on the laws in the state where you live you may be under the age of consent. If so this will only add to the problems they will find themselves in.
What they are saying is slander and not much the police can do about that. If you are under the age of consent, in your state, or you were under the age of consent when they started this, what they are saying is that he has had sex with someone under the age of consent. This is statutory rape. He is admitting to it. To my mind the fact that it never happened is immaterial, he is admitting to it by telling others. This is something the police can charge him with as well as other violations of the law for associating with a minor. He can disavow that it ever happened. By your writing it sounds as if he will have a hard tome making the police believe him.
In telling them nothing happened the police can believe he is lying to them or they can believe he lied to everyone else. If they believe he lied to everyone else I would think that could only help a slander suit against him and his wife.
In any case this is something you need your parents help with so talk to them. You may never know what you did or did not do to cause them to harass you so. They may be nothing more than crazy fools. Whatever the case they deserve to be taught a lesson and the law is on your side so use it to your best advantage.

Absolutely. He is slandering you and it needs to stop. Certainly you should go to the police, but they may not be able to do much about it. You may have better luck going to a lawyer. In addition, since you are under the age of 18, get your parents involved.

Yes there is legal action you can take and should take.
This is sexual harassment, You go to the police department and you file a complaint. If I were you I'd pull the creeper a restraining order also. Let the police know exactly what you told us, If you have proof with it make sure you bring it with you.
