Speak to his parents. When he says you hurt him, tell him you didn't. If he doesn't want you touching him he will have to a) avoid time out to start with by listening or b) go to time out on his own when he is told to. Claiming you have hurt him should get him another minute or two in time out for trying to manipulate you.
If he doesn't want you touching him he can tell his Mom, Dad, Granny, and the child abuse investigators that you hurt him. Just the accusation is enough to start a series of events that will rock your world. Him going to time out will be put along the wayside immediately when those words hit the ears of someone who can start the series of events. It wouldn't matter if he said that when you were moving him from point a to point b or serving him up a second helping of Spaghetti O's. Same consequence.
