The trouble started after John Lee moved into public housing in Broadmeadows and a letter circulated warning residents about the person living at his address.
The letter was posted anonymously to households with children and implied the resident was a pedophile.

The WA child protection unit this week confirmed the Broadmeadows man was not the convicted criminal.
