Can he divulge past information?
5 years ago, when I got out of high school, I worked security at a shopping mall. During the course of my job, we encountered a man, who took a photo up a teenage girl's skirt in a store and we detained him for police. The main issue for me was that I went to high school with the girl. I had posted that he was a pedophile and that we handled business, on Facebook. A co worker had seen the post and reported it to management, which led to my termination. It's been 5 years since the termination there. Today, my current boss told me that the same former co worker came to my job and happened to speak with him. My former co worker had told him the full details and the reason for my termination, which my boss already knew because of my interview. It pissed me off to know that same co worker is going around telling people why I got fired, even 5 years later and he isn't even a supervisor! Is there something I can do? Is it wrong what he's doing?

Newsflash! Gossip isn't illegal! As long as you were up front, there is no issue. Which is precisely why you should be up front.

What you did was wrong. What gives you the right any more than him? He may have a blabber mouth - that is not illegal but, when you employed, what happens in the work place is generally CONFIDENTIAL. I am not talking about attorney-client privilege either. You should not be posting things that happen at work. When you learn to keep your mouth shut, things will work out better for you. Your co-worker has a right to inform whoever he wants about what you did. No, it is not a nice thing to do and it is none of his business but, it is not illegal either and if he feels a prospective employer or your new employer should know about it, he has a right to tell them. It is called "fallout" and you caused yourself to be subject to it. Hopefully, this guy will get over it and soon go his own way, without keeping your on his mind.
