KANSAS CITY, KAN - A metro veteran needed a job to help pay some bills and get back on his feet, but he says the opportunity to work at the Schlitterbahn water park in Kansas City, Kansas, was taken away from him after he was falsely accused of being a sex offender.

Christopher Michael Reynolds says that he was supposed to start at the water park on May 4th, but when he showed up, officials told him to leave after he was informed that he was a registered sex offender.

"My jaw just dropped, I mean, no way," said Reynolds. "I was like, this is so untrue."

According to ADP, the company that conducts background checks for Schlitterbahn, Christopher Reynolds was convicted of sexual battery in Bexar, Indiana, on March 11, 2007.

But there is a big problem with the company's background check.

"When this happened, I was in Iraq, serving in the Army National Guard," said Reynolds.

1. He needs to get a good lawyer and sue the company.

These companies are allowed to impact Americans lives without consequences for their mistakes.
