Valgrind: Invaid read/write of size 1 error in fscanf and struct double pointer
I got this error from Valgrind. I could bot find the solution to fix this.
When I try to free my allocations I get segmentation fault and these errors.

It says that problem is about my double pointer array of structures. Related lines are below.
29. struct client** clientsArray =calloc(numberOfClients ,sizeof(struct client*));
for(i= 0 ; i<numberOfClients; i++){
clientsArray[i] = (struct client*)malloc(sizeof(struct client));
}
while(!feof(clientFP)){
38. fscanf(clientFP, "%s", clientsArray[counter]->clientID);
39. clientsArray[counter]->clientID[3]='';
fscanf(clientFP, "%s", clientsArray[counter]->clientIP);
clientsArray[counter]->clientIP[11]='';
fscanf(clientFP, "%s", clientsArray[counter]->clientMacAddress);
clientsArray[counter]->clientMacAddress[11]='';
counter++;
}
//Each line of the file is in this format: A 1.2.3.4 AAAAAAAAAA
MY CODE TO FREE CLIENTS ARRAY;
Firstly I freed the variables of each client object. And then I used this.
for(i = 0 ; i<numberOfClients ; i++){
free(clients[i]);
}
free(clients);
Can you please help me about what to change?
