More details to this question:
I have been wrongfully accused of sexual harassment. I was suspended without pay for 2 days. The woman said that I asked her out and when she said no, I asked for her phone number so I could call her all hours of the night to wake her up. She had no witnesses and I believe that she conspired with my coworker to get me fired. Can I sue her for defamation of character because it cost me.

Possibly, yes. These are expensive cases however and usually involve hiring a lawyer on an hourly rate and retainer.
