More details to this question:
Article written online accusing me and calling me a peeping tom after a fight with one of my neighbors. It wasn't true and I wasn't convicted. It's causing me a lot of problems when people see the article. Is there a statute of limitations on having the article taken down or lawyer that will assist me with this?

Two years is the time frame for defamation. BUT there may be issues if the article is continually republished. You will most likely have to hire a lawyer to some significant expense to sort this out if at all possible.
